Sustainability agreement

The DVKG / ÖVKG has always worked to develop, implement and offer services and processes that meet sustainability requirements in order to make a positive contribution to society in the long term. Our aim is to implement the highest sustainability standards.

We use our expertise

  • to reduce our impact on the local and global environment;
  • to engage with the communities in which we live and work;
  • to care for our employees;
  • to take responsibility for the impact of our services on applicants and travelers;
  • and to support our customers and service providers in their sustainability efforts.

 

We ensure that we act in accordance with international, regional and local standards. Our challenge is to implement the highest requirements of "corporate best practice" in sustainability.

 

The DVKG / ÖVKG accepts and executes your order on the basis of trust. Responsibility plays an indispensable role in this. We pursue an environmentally friendly perspective, e.g. by offering to return several documents in one envelope. We ensure a reduction in paper consumption through digital processing.

We want to get involved in your business activities and thus improve competitiveness and profitability in the long term.
