Our purpose

We work for a viable energy future

Our purpose is the core driver of our business. Energy has always been a catalyst for change and growth. But with increasing energy demands come increasing emissions, resulting in climate changes that can cause irreparable damage to our planet. The world is calling for an energy transition – and we all need to change the way that energy is produced and consumed.

We believe real value lies in our actions and depends on the accumulated work of all stakeholders. For us, sustainability is not the job of one person, it is everybody’s business.

UN sustainable development goals

In 2015, the United Nations adopted 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Danske Commodities is part of the UN Global Compact as a subsidiary member and supports all UN SDGs.

We focus on advancing SDG 7 (affordable and clean energy), where we make a difference through our business. Also, we support SDG 12 and SDG 13 – pledging to be an active participant in pushing the world towards a more sustainable future.
