The DNA
Our ESG Strategy
With our commitment to sustainability, clearly defined milestones and demonstrable transparency, ESG is part of our DNA and our sustainability strategy.
This includes upgrading our buildings with the climate in mind, making our internal processes more efficient, promoting an inclusive employee structure, generating a steady flow of income, ensuring continuity in our dividend policy and providing ESG-focused financial instruments.

We have set measurable climate targets based on current knowledge of the environmental parameters available globally and our own market knowledge.
Furthermore, we want to contribute actively to decarbonising the European Building sector. Reducing CO2 emissions and decreasing environmental damage are a top priority for us.

As an employer, we are responsible for ensuring a positive corporate culture as well as a safe, social and healthy working environment.
Collaboration at DIC is based on motivation, diversity, an entrepreneurial mind-set and behaviour, independence, flexibility and expertise.

We attach great importance to corporate governance in the sense ofmanaging our company sustainably.
We commit ourselves to observing the principles of ethical conduct and integrity, any and all applicable legal provisions as well as our internal corporate values.

Digitisation has become a regular component of our day-to-day business. Synergies from the standardisation and automation of operational and administrative processes act as basis for the digital services we provide to our investors and tenants: They help us to keep stepping up the pace.
Yet we derive much more from it:
Higher quality. Smarter use of resources. Better service.

All of DIC’s activities are shaped by our “spirit to create excellence”. We see change not as a threat but as an opportunity to renew the foundations of our success. At the same time, we know that our responsibility as a company extends far beyond merely creating tangible value. That is why we work closely with all of our stakeholders to ensure that we are guided by their needs.
The future is changeable, and that applies to us as an organisation, too. The acquisition of VIB during the year under review added another facet to our business model, making it significantly more versatile and resilient. Logistics properties are now our second major asset class after office properties, comprising 39% of our Commercial Portfolio. At the same time, we are generating much steadier revenue streams than before. It is our responsibility to actively help shape future change and prepare ourselves for the challenges of tomorrow.
We hope that reading our 2022 Sustainability Report gives you the same sense of joy and optimism we felt while preparing it.
The future is “changeable”!
