Our responsibility
Measuring up to your responsibility is actually pretty easy: you should always live and act in a way that benefits the environment and people. We have a few good ideas on the subject that we are focused on making reality.
Firmly committed: We support rightandfair, the sustainability code of the German-speaking events industry.
Going green: Deutsche Bahn event tickets (Veranstaltungstickets) with 100% green energy for our congress participants
Saving paper: Over 50% less paper used for the DKOU preliminary and main programme since 2012 (thanks to the introduction of a smartphone app and the expansion of online programmes, mailings and newsletters)
Flexibly structured: Good, practical part-time models make it possible to strike a healthy work-life balance.
Planning fair: Employees can participate in internal training courses and meetings even while they are on parental leave.
Always welcoming: Temporary childcare problems? Bring your kids to work! Office dogs are also always welcome.
Frankly speaking: Everyone – from on-the-job trainees to department heads – can weigh in with their ideas!
Thinking ahead: For years, we have been training up-and-coming talents to counteract the shortage of specialists.
“We give ourselves and our employees the space, time and freedom to think outside the box. We live sustainability.”
― Sabine de Fries, Sustainability Manager
