The German Sustainability Code (DNK)

Developed by the German Council for Sustainable Development (RNE), the German Sustainability Code has been supporting companies in sustainability reporting since 2011.

The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection (BMWK) has been funding the further development of the Sustainability Code since February 2024, with the RNE providing advice on further development. Instead of the previous reporting standard, the Sustainability Code will offer a comprehensive range of support for reporting in accordance with CSRD from the start of 2025. The aim is to provide companies with user-friendly sustainability reporting via the new Sustainability Code platform and thus significantly reduce the time and effort required, especially for medium-sized companies.
