DCM strives to be an industry leader in sustainable best practices that soften our footprint. It makes good business sense, and it’s good for the communities in which we live and work. We’re grateful to be in a position to give back and make a real difference to causes that are important to all of us.” Richard Kellam, President & CEO |
Why ESG matters to DCM
At DCM, we’re continually striving to be better corporate citizens. Not simply because it’s the right thing to do, but because we want to create the kind of world—and workplace—that encourages everyone to protect the environment, help each other out, and act with integrity.
That means focusing our efforts in areas where we know we can make the biggest difference. Here’s what we’re doing:
Environment
Reducing the environmental impact and increasing the sustainability of our facilities by setting science-based targets to reduce our carbon emissions.
Social
Improving the quality of life of our people by being socially responsible and ensuring a welcoming, diverse work environment.
Governance
Holding ourselves to rigorous and transparent standards through strong corporate governance.
What’s important to us
A greener planet
We’re replacing our paper consumption by replanting an equivalent number of trees—over 800,000 so far—in carefully managed locations.
More sustainable operations
We’re supporting the global community in achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050, and by reducing our scope 1 and scope 2 carbon emissions by 2030 based on 2022 data.
Less greenhouse gas
We lowered our GHG emissions by 860 metric tons between 2020 and 2022.
Less solid waste
Our goal is to realize an absolute reduction in solid waste and increase diversion from landfill via a solid waste audit and action plan.
Stronger communities
We’re the strategic partner and digital agency of record for Habitat for Humanity Canada, providing pro bono support that helps them amplify their brand.
A more diverse workplace
Through our partnership with Global Learning Inc. and our dedicated DEI committee, we ensure all our associates feel empowered, supported, and included.
