Corporate Culture and the Team of DFGE Institute
Dr.-Ing. Thomas Fleissner
Founder and CEO of DFGE
“Our corporate culture and our team are our best assets. This differentiates us from our competitors and ensures that we exceed our customers’ needs while contributing to integrated sustainable development.”
The DFGE
Corporate Culture and Values
- Our goal is to deliver solutions to our clients instead of creating new problems. We want to take work off our clients’ shoulders so they can focus on what really matters: advancing sustainability company-wide.
- It is crucial for us to deliver high-quality results. That is why we work according to scientific, international standards. In addition, we have an internal quality management system. Our work is based on facts and figures, rather than “greenwashing”.
- At DFGE, everyone is responsible for their tasks; we believe in self-motivation and personal responsibility. This is only possible if you can trust in the strengths of the team: You can always ask your colleagues for advice, who will help you improve and learn.
- We are constantly evolving: new ideas are always welcome! We optimise our internal processes and broaden as well as deepen our offerings in order to always fulfil our customers’ wishes in the best possible way.
- Working at DFGE requires flexibility and the ability to multitask. You will deal with clients from several industries and with a variety of issues, as well as handle several projects at the same time. We also work with clients and colleagues from different countries and cultures, so a good level of English is an important requirement.
- We want the work at DFGE to be fun, both the work itself and the interaction within the team. In this sense, we are a kind of “family business” and “friends”.
We trust in teamwork and in the strengths of the individual employees
Sustainability at DFGE
UN Global Compact
Communication On Progress
As a non-manufacturing, small company, we at DFGE naturally face much smaller challenges than many of our customers when it comes to corporate sustainability. Of course, we also calculate our own corporate carbon footprint and take into account the 17 SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) defined by the UN. Every year, we publish our own COP (Communication on Progress) report as part of the UNGC – United Nations Global Compact.
Our Contribution to Climate Action
Measuring our Corporate Carbon Footprint is an important part of our climate strategy. It helps us transparently track our emissions and identify further opportunities for reduction.
In addition, we voluntarily support climate action projects that contribute to climate protection. As part of this commitment, we support the Kinnaur hydropower project in Himachal Pradesh, India.
Our Corporate Contribution Record documents the DFGE’s carbon footprint for the 2025 reporting year and our voluntary support for the project. We consider this support a voluntary contribution to climate action. It is not used to offset our own greenhouse gas emissions and does not reduce the DFGE’s reported carbon footprint.
Gender Equality & Diversity
DFGE stands for diversity and equality
Every person is unique and thus ensures diversity in our society. Equal participation and inclusion of all employees is indispensable. We value all people, regardless of their gender, age, religion or origin.
Health Promotion
Member of Urban Sports Club
A good work-life balance is important to us. The best way to achieve this is to really let off steam or switch off after a day’s work by swimming, bouldering or fitness training. That’s why we encourage all employees to join the Urban Sports Club.
