The DGNB gold certification serves a dual purpose. Firstly, it is a future-proof system that ensures we continuously and systematically improve numerous sustainability parameters. Secondly, it allows us to document our commitment to becoming more sustainable. This will change the way we interact with stakeholders, such as customers or investors, and we will also impose new requirements on suppliers, for example.
