Environmental Policy

---

We understand that environmental responsibility is not just an obligation—it is a fundamental pillar of how we operate, innovate, and create value for our clients. Our operational model is designed to maximize efficiency, sustainability, and digital transformation, ensuring that we contribute to environmental preservation while delivering world-class data management and governance solutions.

DGS has deliberately chosen to operate under a 100% remote structure, aligning with the principles of environmental responsibility, operational efficiency, and digital transformation. Although our company is legally registered in Puerto Rico, we have opted not to maintain a traditional office space. Instead, we use a Registered Agent Address, which serves all necessary legal and administrative functions to ensure full compliance with corporate regulations.

This decision is not a limitation, but rather a forward-thinking strategy that allows us to:

• Minimize Environmental Impact: By eliminating the need for an office, we reduce our carbon footprint, avoiding emissions associated with electricity consumption, air conditioning, heating, lighting, and employee commuting.

• Ensure Full Legal Compliance and Corporate Governance: Our Registered Agent Address fulfills all necessary legal requirements, ensuring corporate transparency, operational legitimacy, and full regulatory compliance.

• Enhance Agility and Global Talent Access: Without geographic constraints, we can attract top-tier professionals from anywhere in the world, promoting innovation and operational excellence while avoiding unnecessary environmental impact.

• Lead by Example in the Digital Economy: Our model leverages cloud computing, remote collaboration, and smart resource management, demonstrating that companies can operate efficiently and responsibly without sacrificing performance or compliance.

Although DGS does not operate in a traditionally resource-intensive industry, we remain committed to minimizing our environmental footprint in every aspect of our operations. Our key sustainability initiatives include:

• Water Conservation:
  
  • As a fully digital company, we do not consume water for industrial, production, or office maintenance purposes.
  • By avoiding physical office spaces, we eliminate water consumption from restrooms, cleaning services, and facility maintenance.

• Waste Reduction:
  
  • 100% Paperless Strategy: All documentation—contracts, invoices, policies, and reports—is handled digitally, eliminating the need for paper-based processes.
  • Sustainable IT Asset Management: We extend the life cycle of electronic equipment, promote device reuse, and responsibly recycle obsolete hardware.
  • Elimination of Single-Use Plastics: We prioritize sustainable procurement practices, reducing unnecessary plastic waste from office supplies and packaging.

• Carbon Footprint and Emissions Reduction:
  
  • Without a physical office, we eliminate all CO₂ emissions related to employee commuting and facility energy consumption.
  • Our cloud-based infrastructure is hosted on energy-efficient data centers, significantly reducing reliance on physical servers that demand high power consumption.
  • By reducing business travel and encouraging remote collaboration, we further lower our impact on global carbon emissions.

• Biodiversity Preservation:
  
  • Since we do not operate in a physical location, our environmental footprint on land use, natural habitats, and ecosystems is virtually nonexistent.
  • We actively promote sustainability awareness and encourage digital solutions that reduce dependency on natural resources.

Beyond our internal sustainability efforts, DGS actively aligns with our clients' Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives, ensuring that we contribute to their long-term sustainability goals.

• Collaboration with Eco-Conscious Partners: We prioritize working with technology providers, vendors, and partners who share our commitment to sustainability.
• Sustainability Training and Awareness: Our employees, consultants, and contractors receive continuous training on digital sustainability and best practices for responsible data management.
• Support for Carbon Offset Initiatives: We evaluate potential partnerships that allow us to further compensate for any residual environmental impact through carbon offset programs and green technology investments.

By choosing DGS as a trusted vendor, our clients benefit from an organization that is:
