DGNB Gold Certification

We are working towards DTU Science Park in Hørsholm being DGNB gold-certified in 2025

When we achieve our DGNB gold certification, DTU Science Park will become Denmark's first business area with a comprehensive sustainability certification addressing over 400 sustainability parameters.

This is how far we've come:

Q3-Q4 2023

Strategy and planning of efforts

We analyze and gain an overview of our areas for improvement. We formulate strategies and plan how to enhance the sustainability initiatives of the research park.

July 2023

First milestone in the DGNB certification

Submission of documentation materials to the Council for Sustainable Construction for a conformity check to achieve gold-level plan certification.

Q1 2022 – Q2 2023

Documentation work and development of the baseline

Through an intensive process with the auditor, we have developed a baseline and identified areas for improvement.

Q4 2021

Planning the certification process

Selection of an external auditor and registration of the project with the Council for Sustainable Construction.

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.
