We use and process data based on the principles of necessity, transparency, respect, security, ethical design and innovation with the overall purpose of creating value for our clients and partners.

 

Necessity: As our business models increasingly rely on data to produce reliable and accurate results, we commit ourselves to restrict the creation, collection and acquisition of data beyond what is necessary for the purpose.

 

Transparency: DHI is committed to ensuring  that our clients, stakeholders, business partners and employees know what data is collected and shared and how it is used by DHI and its affiliates.

 

Respect: Data is handled with respect for human rights and the privacy of our clients, business partners and employees. We integrate internal controls and train employees in applying high ethical standards when handling data and using our systems.

 

Security: Our clients, business partners, stakeholders and employees trust us with their data, and we honour that trust by protecting and storing data securely and safely using state-of-the-art security measures. We apply DHI's global security policies and controls when processing and handling data to protect confidentiality and integrity and to ensure compliance with applicable legislation and regulations. We ensure that systems and services operate securely and efficiently using advanced technologies.

 

Ethical design: We integrate data ethics principles into processes where data is the key element of success to ensure high ethical standards when developing services and solutions for our clients and employees, including the use of artificial intelligence.

 

Innovation: We are committed to bringing innovative solutions to our clients, business partners and employees and equally to using innovation to positively impact the global sustainability challenges through operational optimisation.
