Sustainability

We invest in cutting-edge technologies, renewable energy sources, and eco-friendly practices that not only benefit our business but also pave the way for a greener, more sustainable world. Together, we can make a significant impact on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and creating a healthier planet for current and future generations. To achieve carbon neutrality in our own operations, we are continuing to transition to renewable sources of energy, improving energy efficiency across our factories and sites, and electrifying our vehicle fleet. We partner with our customers and suppliers to reduce their emissions and achieve carbon neutrality in our own operations by 2030 with our leading technologies.

We are committed to preserving our planet's invaluable resources for future generations. Our unwavering dedication to sustainability is at the core of everything we do. We have taken meaningful steps to reduce our environmental footprint, from our energy-efficient operations to our sustainable sourcing practices. By prioritizing resource preservation, we not only safeguard the environment but also ensure a more resilient and prosperous future for our business and society as a whole.

Through innovation and conscious decision-making, B&R takes a company-wide approach to circularity. We aim to innovate towards new circular business models by minimizing waste, increasing recyclability and reusability, and making our products more durable. We work closely with customers and suppliers to embed circularity across the value chain.

Within our own operations, we strive to avoid waste by making our products and processes more efficient and maximizing the use of sustainable materials for packaging. We continuously seek ways to improve logistics efficiency.

We design our products to be sustainable, which means making them more durable and maximizing the content that can be reused and recycled to eliminate waste. We source raw materials with the maximum amount of sustainable content. Our leading automation technologies help our customers reduce and avoid GHG emissions.

We build a safe, fair, equitable and inclusive working environment where our people can succeed and develop. We work to support community development across the world while systematically focusing on social progress in our supply chain.

We believe that a prosperous and sustainable society is built upon a foundation of well-being, equity, and respect. Health and safety lie at the heart of our commitment to social progress. We prioritize the health and safety of our employees, customers, and communities, continuously striving to maintain the highest standards of workplace safety.

We celebrate the uniqueness of every individual and recognize that diversity in our workforce and inclusive practices within our organization enrich us with a multitude of perspectives, ideas, and experiences. By fostering a culture of inclusion, we unlock the full potential of our workforce, driving innovation and creativity. Our journey towards social progress encompasses health, safety, and diversity, and we understand that by empowering individuals and supporting their well-being, we are not only building a stronger company but also a more equitable and prosperous society.

At B&R, we strive to do the right thing and be transparent at every level of our value chain. We measure our performance not only by the results we achieve, but also how we achieve them. A culture of integrity is a prerequisite for a world-class business and B&R’s strength and future success depend on our reputation as a trusted and reliable business partner.

To drive integrity and transparency across our supply chain, we use our Code of Conduct as the basis for interactions with projects and counterparties. For example, compliance with our Supplier Code of Conduct is included in all procurement terms and conditions.

Our Code of Conduct guides our employees to do the right thing – follow the law, act honorably and treat each other with respect – and underpins our commitments to ethical behavior and human rights. B&R is committed to fostering a culture in which integrity is woven into the fabric of everything we do.
