CSR at DCS ApS

At DCS ApS, we are aware that we have a social and environmental responsibility, and on this page, you can read a little more about some of the initiatives that shape our development toward a fundamental idea that can be summed up as: DCS ApS - a responsible company.

Environmental Responsibility

As an IT distributor, we have an unavoidable environmental footprint, which we try to compensate for as much as possible.

This includes the following points.

• Packaging: At DCS ApS, we use recycled packaging and reuse packing materials wherever possible. When this is not possible, we use packaging sourced from forests where no more trees are felled than the forest can reproduce, and where animals, plant life, and employees in the forests are protected under safe conditions.
• Used IT: We support all initiatives where used IT equipment is reused as an alternative to new products. Our starting point is always that our customers should have the right product - we therefore do not prioritise used products at any cost. Our customers' satisfaction and needs always come first.
• Buildings: At our headquarters in Trige, north of Aarhus, we use LED lighting and wireless, centrally controlled thermostats that reduce energy consumption for heating by 23%. Furthermore, we use the heat emitted by our internal servers to heat our warehouse wherever possible.
• Electronic Waste: We comply with all applicable environmental regulations for the handling of electronic waste and end-of-life products through collective schemes, as registered in the Danish Producer Responsibility Register (Dansk Producentansvar).

Social Responsibility

It's no secret that DCS ApS takes social responsibility. In fact, we have always had socially disadvantaged employees working in various roles within our organization. This includes employees who, for various reasons, can only work part-time or with special considerations, or employees who are at risk of being "lost" to the labor market or who have perhaps been outside the workforce for years. Our long experience with socially disadvantaged employees means that we are good at managing people with various diagnoses. DCS ApS has most recently created more than 10 new positions through a combination of internships and employment under alternative terms to regular contracts.

Additionally, it is an integral part of our work with new product categories, manufacturers, and suppliers that we check on environmental and social responsibility issues with our partners.

Ongoing work toward increased accountability and sustainability

At DCS ApS, we are constantly working to improve our status as a responsible company that is aware of its role in society and the potential negative impacts on stakeholders and society that we might have.

Our CSR initiatives have not been driven by a formal policy, but rather by an ongoing effort toward the core idea of: DCS ApS - a responsible company.
