DCM strives to be an industry leader in sustainable best practices that seek to 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
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 where we believe 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 reforested trees—over 1.5 million so far—in carefully selected locations.
More sustainable operations
We are committed to having 75% of our suppliers by spend (covering purchased goods and services, and upstream transportation and distribution) implement science-based targets by 2026.
Less greenhouse gas
We will track our GHG emissions annually and implement measures to reduce our scope 1 and scope 2 GHG emissions by 44% in 2030 (compared to 2020).
Stronger communities
We’re the strategic partner and digital agency of record for Habitat for Humanity Canada, providing support that includes pro bono services amplifying their brand.
A more diverse workplace
Through our partnership with Global Learning Inc. and our dedicated DEI Council, we strive to ensure all our associates feel empowered, supported, and included.
