Sustainability as a core value of the DLG cooperative

For several years, the DLG Group has strived to make their activities more sustainable and resource-efficient, while at the same time creating tools and products with a sustainable profile.

Kristian Hundebøll, CEO, DLG Group comments that the sustainability plan is DLG’s view on how they can contribute to the international climate goals as well as the goals set in the food industry. And as one of the first links in the food value chain, it is important for the entire agricultural sector that they at DLG Group help show the way to a greener industry and with the new sustainability plan they set a clear direction that will benefit their owners, customers and the world around them in both the short and long term.

The DLG Group’s climate targets are set in accordance with the UN’s climate panel IPCC’s recommendation to limit global warming to 1.5 ° C in relation to pre-industrial levels. The next step is to have the goals validated by the Science-Based Target Initiative, which verifies that the goals are in line with the objectives of the Paris Agreement.
