Sustainability in the aviation industry: DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH uses VERSO software

The aviation industry is under particular scrutiny when it comes to climate protection. In Germany, air traffic contributes considerably to CO₂ emissions, and DFS is actively taking on this challenge. In doing so, the company relies on the ESG software from VERSO.

DFS not only ensures safe and smooth air traffic, it also holds a major lever for reducing emissions: through optimized flight routes, efficient approach and departure procedures, and smooth ground operations, it helps reduce kerosene consumption and CO₂ output. Noise protection plays a decisive role too: with intelligent air traffic management measures, the burden on local residents can be reduced. As an EMAS-certified company, DFS commits to continuously improving its environmental performance and reporting on it transparently.

But how do you measure and manage sustainability in a highly complex company like DFS?

Transparency and progress tracking with VERSO

This is exactly where VERSO comes in: for the third year in a row, DFS uses our ESG Hub and our Climate Hub, two connected software solutions that support the company in implementing its sustainability strategy efficiently and based on data.

All ESG data in one place: In the ESG Hub, all sustainability metrics are captured, measures are tracked, and progress is monitored. This way, DFS keeps an overview of its targets and developments at all times.
Carbon footprint at the push of a button: The Climate Hub enables the automatic calculation of CO₂ emissions in line with the GHG Protocol and ISO 14064-1, for all three scopes. This makes DFS a frontrunner in its industry, since alongside direct energy consumption it also accounts for business travel, commuting, and other indirect emissions.
Verified EMAS reporting: With VERSO, DFS has already created two verified EMAS reports, efficiently, time-saving, and with full data consistency.

DFS on working with VERSO:

“With the ESG software from VERSO, we capture, analyze, and manage our sustainability data centrally in one place. The structured data management is a great relief, efficient, time-saving, and with full data consistency.”

A strong signal for the industry

DFS shows that a consistent sustainability strategy is possible even in demanding industries. With clear targets, smart processes, and the right digital support, sustainability in air traffic can be made measurable and manageable.
