DGB Group N.V. (“DGB”) today publishes its annual report 2020.
Although the 2020 annual accounts have not (yet) been provided with an auditor's report, the board of DGB considers it important to inform shareholders of the content of the annual report and annual accounts.
The following should be noted with regard to this publication:
- On September 4, 2020, the extraordinary meeting of shareholders (EGM) approved the asset-liability transaction already announced in July 2020, whereby, among other things, all shares held by DGB Group in its subsidiaries (De Groene Belangenbehartiger BV, DGB Lease BV, Energy BV, Renewables BV, VIVA Veterinary BV and DeGroSolutions BV) have been sold. This transaction took place on the same day.
- The half-year report 2020 provides an overview of the financial data of the continuing operations and the discontinued operations with regard to the asset-liability transaction. This split provides insight into the nature and size of the discontinued activities. In the half-year report, the discontinued operations were still consolidated because on the reporting date DGB Group had (decisive) control. As of September 4, 2020, decisive control no longer applies, so that no consolidated data is presented.
- The company announced on September 10, 2020 its commitment to the mission and purpose of global reforestation, conservation, ecosystem restoration and advanced energy compensation services. Because this did not lead to acquisitions in 2020, only the holding activities are included in the 2020 annual report.

CEO Duijvestijn said: “This was a crucial year for the group, as we have set the building blocks that will enable us to grow and deliver shareholder value. We can now start to accelerate the pace of global reforestation and how people can trade and participate in the fast-growing carbon offsetting market. The total value of the global CO2 market rose by 20% last year to a record amount of € 229 billion as a result of the expected tightening of the emission ceilings. This sector has thus completed its sixth year of consecutive growth. We expect to play an active role in opening up this market to more investors with a range of up-to-date reforestation projects and an easy-to-understand trading platform. ”
