WHAT MAKES UP A GREAT WORKPLACE? Or should we be asking what makes up a great life? Because for many of us, the two are interconnected.   There’s no one-size-fits-all, but in DC, we believe three things are essential.   👉 Driving high performance That means being ambitious, setting ambitious goals and delivering ambitious results. We expect you to care. About your work. About your own and your colleagues’ collective successes. And about the difference we make at DC.   Bottom line, we’re a pretty passionate bunch of people.   👉 Working together No one in DC is an island. No single employee can create results alone. We do it together. And we’re proud to consistently be top in class on collaboration in our workplace evaluations.   And then the game changer (fitting for a sports-obsessed company, right?).   👉 Doing it sustainably High performance needs to be sustainable. We want you to deliver ambitious results for many years without growing tired. Without burning out. Having a great job is a big part of having a great life. And we want to do what we can to ensure you arrive at work filled with energy and leave the office in the afternoon with energy as well.    That’s what a great workplace means for us. What does it mean for you?   #sustainablehighperformance #lifebalance #danskecommodities #energylikenoother

GRENAA HEATING PLANT: A MODEL EXAMPLE OF ENERGY FLEXIBILITY By integrating solar thermal panels and photovoltaic systems alongside their woodchip boiler, the district heating provider in the town of Grenaa, Denmark, has developed a versatile energy system that supports both their sustainability goals and reduces costs for their customers 💪   At DC, we collaborate closely with the company, assisting in production planning and optimisation.   In this episode of our Behind the Screens podcast, CEO of Grenaa Heating Plant Søren Gertsen and Senior Originator Jakob Krogshave Laursen provide insight into the process.   Jakob will be at Dansk Fjernvarmes Landsmøde in Copenhagen this week along with the rest of the team. Feel free to stop by to learn how you can get the most out of your flex assets.   Shortcuts to the episode on all major streaming services in the comments below ⬇️   #fjernvarme #lm2024 #districtheating #flexibility #danskecommodities #energylikenoother   

HOW CLOSE ARE YOU TO REALISING YOUR COMPANY’S GREEN AMBITIONS? Don’t worry if you’re not quite there yet, we’ve got you covered. Enter: Corporate power purchase agreements (CPPAs).   CPPAs are a critical tool in decarbonising society while adding new renewables to the energy mix.   They allow you to buy power and associated certificates that match your consumption from a renewable asset and, at the same time, hedge the cost risk through the price certainty that comes with these long-term agreements.   As a strong financial partner with a proven track record, we can tailor solutions that meet your renewable energy needs while protecting your costs.

INTRODUCING A MONTHLY FRIDAY OFF We’ve never shied away from being a company that focuses on high performance. So much so that we often like to compare ourselves to top athletes 👟⛹️⚽   We’re ambitious. We set ambitious goals. And we deliver on them.    But a thing about top athletes is that they take recovery seriously. Because without recovery, they can’t keep performing at the highest level. And that doesn’t just apply to top athletes, it applies to anyone working in a high-performance environment.    High performance should be sustainable. And we want our people to thrive.   ⚡That’s why we’re introducing Fuel Fridays⚡   In short, Fuel Fridays mean a monthly Friday off with pay to fuel your energy and recharge your batteries. We see these days as an important step in ensuring our high-performance culture remains sustainable over time.    Fuel Fridays can be spent on whatever gives you energy.   This might be running or doing yoga. Taking your kids or grandkids out of kindergarten for a day. Working on a project. Or simply taking the time to read a book.   The initiative will be launched in January 2025 and is just one of many benefits at DC focusing on sustainable high performance, ranging from advanced SQL programming courses to unlimited children’s sick days.   #sustainablehighperformance #recovery #danskecommodities #energylikenoother
