ESG at dbfb.

ESG is about how a business operates, not just what it says. Our approach brings together environmental responsibility, fair employment, community impact, clear governance and recognised standards.

For customers and procurement teams, that means greater visibility of how we manage our impact, support our people and operate responsibly as part of your supply chain.

More than compliance

Practical action across people, planet and business.

Policies and commitments matter, but only when they influence the decisions a business makes every day. ESG at dbfb is built around practical action, measurable standards and continual improvement.

REDUCING OUR IMPACT

Turn environmental commitments into practical action.

Environmental responsibility needs more than a statement. We continue to review where waste can be reduced, energy used more efficiently and operational choices improved across our buildings, vehicles, equipment and day-to-day activity.

Our Carbon Reduction Plan gives customers and procurement teams a clearer view of that direction, while ISO 14001, responsible recycling and renewable energy help turn those commitments into practical action.

Carbon reduction planning
Our Carbon Reduction Plan sets out how we are working to reduce emissions and improve environmental performance. It is reviewed and updated regularly, helping us track progress, identify priorities and keep environmental improvement visible across the business.

For customers and procurement teams, it provides a clearer view of our environmental direction and the practical steps being taken over time.

Environmental management
We are proud to be ISO 14001 certified, reflecting our commitment to reducing environmental impact and continually improving how we work.  ISO 14001 provides a recognised framework for environmental management.

It helps us review how our activities affect the environment, identify opportunities for improvement and maintain a more structured approach to environmental responsibility.

Responsible recycling
Through zero-to-landfill arrangements, full recycling of confidential waste and structured WEEE recycling, we aim to reduce waste, protect data securely and use resources responsibly as part of our wider sustainability commitments.

This is especially important in a technology business, where equipment, devices, packaging and secure disposal all need to be handled properly.

Renewable energy and efficiency
We’re committed to reducing energy use and carbon impact across our operations. We operate on 100% renewable electricity, use solar panels across our buildings and continue expanding our electric and hybrid vehicle fleet.

Energy-efficient measures such as movement-sensor lighting and automatic switch-off systems help minimise unnecessary consumption and support responsible operations.

THE WIDER IMPACT

Responsibility beyond the technology we provide.

Responsible business is also about the impact you have on the people and communities around you.

For dbfb, that means building strong local partnerships, creating opportunities for young people, supporting digital inclusion and giving our teams time to volunteer, fundraise and get involved in causes that matter.

That community activity sits alongside our wider commitments to fair employment, wellbeing and responsible business - helping make social value something practical, visible and ongoing.

01

Community partnerships

Build lasting relationships with local organisations and support the projects, events and initiatives creating a positive difference in their communities.

03

Digital inclusion

Support initiatives that help more people access technology, build confidence and benefit from the opportunities that being connected can provide.

02

Education and opportunity

Give young people an insight into working life through placements and learning opportunities across our business.

04

Volunteering and fundraising

Give our people time to volunteer and help teams raise money, share skills and support causes that matter to them personally.

Recognised quality

Proof you do not have to take on trust.

Your organisation may need more than promises before choosing a supplier.

Procurement, compliance and security teams often need recognised standards, current evidence and supporting documents they can review as part of due diligence, onboarding or tender processes.

We maintain certifications, policies and supplier-assurance information to give your team a clearer view of how quality, environmental responsibility, governance and operational risk are managed.
