DNK-Index
DEKRA bases its sustainability reporting on the criteria of the “Deutscher Nachhaltigkeitskodex” (DNK). The Code, known internationally as "The Sustainability Code", provides a framework for reporting that can be used by organizations and companies of all sizes and legal forms. The DNK was initiated by the German Council for Sustainable Development (RNE), an advisory body to the German government. DEKRA is a mentor for the DNK and supports other companies with regard to the standard. In the following index, we refer to the passages in this magazine that make reference to the DNK criteria:
