In all aspects of our operations – internally and externally – we want to be known by the way we act and behave – our virtues:
Virtues
Empathy
Truly understanding the unique needs and perspectives of our clients and the natural world we serve. By stepping into the shoes of others, we craft solutions that create value for the client, and are better for the environment.
Integrity
Integrity is the bedrock upon which we build trust with clients, colleagues, and communities, ensuring that we never compromise on our responsibilities to nature and our commitment to providing solutions that are sustainable and just.
Bravery
We are resilient when challenging decisions head-on, having the courage to question conventional thinking, and driving change that builds robustness - for people and planet - while ensuring a sustainable future.
As we move forward, we do so with the belief that every action, no matter how small, has the power of building a more resilient world for a sustainable future beyond our own.
Our story
DGE Group believes that the environment and humanity are inherently interconnected, relying on each other for sustainable progress. That is why we exist: To build a more resilient world for a sustainable future beyond our own; serving our clients and partners with bravery, integrity, and empathy.
DGE was founded in Denmark in 1985 by an experienced engineer with a firm commitment to strive for excellence. What began as a small environmental consultancy in Denmark has grown into a group structure with companies throughout Nordics and the Baltics, spearheaded by the vision and passion of Poul Erik Jensen – the owner and CEO of DGE since 1995. …
… At our core, we carry forward a story of visionary engineers and scientists with a passion for business acumen, honor in quality craftsmanship and an aspiration to shape a world where planet, people and economic growth are not in conflict, but in harmony. This shared commitment unites all individual companies within our group – and all our people upon which our success is built. Our diversity – across cultures, geographies, disciplines and ways of thinking is our source of strength, enabling us to learn from one another, innovate boldly and grow together as One DGE.
At DGE, we recognize the complex relationship between nature and society – a connection often perceived as conflicting, where the advancement of one comes at the expense of the other. We believe in a different approach. We bridge the gap between environmental responsibility and business success, by translating science and scientific results to society for the benefit of the environment. Our innovative solutions prove that what is good for nature is also good for business. Guided by what we know, we aim to create lasting, positive impact – fostering a future where businesses and nature prosper together.
DGE stands at the forefront of a rapidly evolving market shaped by climate change, increasing regulatory demands, and rising public expectations for environmental responsibility. In this dynamic landscape, the DGE Group, both as a cohesive entity and through individual companies, are committed to achieving virtuous growth. Our growth is not a goal in itself: It enables us to invest, innovate, and contribute to building a more resilient world. At the heart of realizing our vision stands our people – who with bravery, integrity, and empathy – as the foundation and driving force behind realizing our purpose and vision.
