Sustainability
Arthur Scheid
Commercial Director
„True to our vision “With nature. For nature”, we are committed to gradually becoming a more sustainable publishing house.“
Florian Brandl
Director of Production, Purchasing and Brand Management
„We have been certified according to the PEFC standard since 2009. The wood for our paper thus comes from sustainably managed forests.“
Peter Laufmann
Editor-in-chief agrarheute
„For many of our readers, sustainability has become part of their DNA. It is only logical therefore, that the publishing house should lead by example.“
Our responsibility
“The field is our home. The barn, the forest, the garden. This is where we live and work: With nature. For nature.”
In 2022, dlv Deutscher Landwirtschaftsverlag set a clear goal: to reduce its CO₂ equivalent emissions. To do this, we calculated our annual CO2 footprint (based on the values of 2021) across the company, and have done so annually ever since.
- Solar energy powers a third of our largest publishing site
- Our entire company fleet runs on electric vehicles
- PEFC-certified paper and a recycling loop
- Promotion of regenerative agriculture
