As a mid-sized, family-run group of companies, the bilstein group has always taken its social and ecological responsibility seriously. For us, however, sustainability is more than just a mandatory obligation: we want to align all our actions with it over the coming years.
Sustainability will play a role in every important operational decision because, as a family company, we know that only sustainable business processes have a future. This future has already begun in the bilstein group. Below, you will find many examples of our projects on the road to sustainability.
Our Holistic Approach Towards Sustainability
As we work towards becoming a more sustainable company, we try to cover the entire scope of the issue.
From our perspective, sustainability is comprised of three key components:
- Economy - this involves the production of high-quality and durable products that take equal account of environmental protection and affordable mobility
- Ecology - this means a focus on processes and structures that conserve resources as much as possible
- Social Aspects - Encompassing fair wages, good working conditions, and compliance with human rights throughout the entire value chain
Sustainability is not just about minimizing our carbon footprint; it also means creating long-term, secure jobs with humane working conditions and living wages. At the same time, we emphasize sustainable production, utilizing economically efficient processes to minimize negative environmental impacts and conserve natural resources and energy.
