Sustainability, ethics and values

As participant in the Global Compact of the United Nations DJG supports the principles of sustainability and ethics. Basis for this self image is the company’s approach.

Part of the DJG's corporate philosophy is the training program for soft skills in addition to the training program for hard skills, which are focussed on the activities of our employees. Content of this program, attended by more than 90 % of our employees, includes self-leadership, leadership behaviour (emotional and social competence), ethics, values, etc. The program includes per average 5 days for each employee in a year and is led by two experienced management trainers.

We also offer the opportunity for contemplation during the day with a specially equipped meditation room for the employees. We firmly believe that we make a significant contribution and space for maintaining the health and development of our employees.
