Sustainability

Increased sustainability
for a better future

Sustainability is not a corporate goal for billerbeck, but an integral part of our identity. This has a direct impact on the people who work, shop or work in partnership with us. In our corporate philosophy, we have stated that we want to set an example in our environment. This is what motivates us to think and act in a socially and ecologically responsible way. In addition, we are convinced that sustainable management is not only essential now, but also for the future. As such, we think ahead for the future and revisit these key topics in-depth again and again.

So we can assess the sustainability of a product, it is important to note that sustainability is not limited to small sub-areas, but actually encompasses a product or production system in its entirety.

Which materials are the best choice for people and nature now and in the future? How can we use our resources efficiently so nothing is wasted and we produce our products economically?

Environment & Sustainability

Climate

Sustainability is the central issue on which we base our thoughts and actions. That’s why we continually invest in regenerative energies, energy-efficient machines and modern factories that help protect the climate and the environment.

Packaging

Sustainable products are not just about their intrinsic values. That is why we attach great importance to regional printers, recycling cardboard packaging, dispensing with unnecessary plastic packaging and prefer to use sustainable materials.

Recycling

We encourage the recycling and reuse of production waste via a well-thought-out recycling strategy.

Logistics

Germany is already on the right track to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. To achieve sustainable success, billerbeck works with smart logistics and efficient transport routes.

Regional commitment to people, animals and the environment

Heartfelt help

From fundraising campaigns for the Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union to support for the Hospice in Karlsruhe — our social and cultural commitment is diverse and is intended to help various institutions. In our corporate philosophy, we have already stated that we want to set an example in our field and are therefore also committed and engaged beyond the boundaries of the company.

Strong community: environmental protection is a collective effort

The concept of sustainability is present throughout the company. We have set up a billerbeck Environmental Management team to implement the environmental projects and progress environmental measures within the company.

Development areas for employees

As with our customers and suppliers, we also strive for a culture of open communication and transparency within the company based on a reciprocal exchange of information. Further training opportunities, a healthy working environment and the promotion of equality and diversity allow us to exploit the full potential of our employees and to continue to develop together.

Certifications

Honoured with sustainable certifications for products, supply chains and the company itself, billerbeck truly stands out.
