Our approach to sustainability

Sustainability Report 2022

Sustainability is one of DKSH’s five company values. We take responsibility for the environmental, social, and economic impacts of our business activities by making sustainability a focus area in our corporate strategy with oversight from our highest governance body, the Board of Directors.

Our Sustainability Strategy reflects four objectives:

  • Enable our people to flourish
  • Make our supply chains more sustainable
  • Become climate neutral by 2030
  • Make a positive local impact

Throughout our more than 150 years of history, being a responsible corporate citizen has been the foundation of our success. At DKSH, we do business in a way that is profitable while also delivering long-term value creation. 

We are currently formalizing our approach to corporate responsibility through a review of the sustainability issues that are most material to our business, to help DKSH leverage sustainability challenges into increased profitability and long-term growth. 

The following guiding principles support DKSH’s commitment to corporate responsibility and sustainability. By integrating these principles into all aspects of how our business is conducted, we not only better manage risks and opportunities, but also meet the evolving needs of our internal and external stakeholders.

Environment
Social

"We contribute to society by providing access to healthcare and important daily consumption items through our busi­ness activities. Moreover, we supported 34 social projects – twice as many as in the year before."

Governance

"An important milestone was the introduction of our new Supplier Code of Conduct. This demonstrates our engagement in continuously promoting higher standards for ethical business practices in our supply chain, now and in the future."
