Sustainability

Sustainability at billerbeck

Sustainability at billerbeck means taking ecological, social and economic requirements into account over the long term and integrating concrete measures into our business processes.

We consider different areas of action along our value chain: from the selection of materials and production processes to resource use, working conditions, supplier relationships and product quality.

For us, it is important not to assess sustainability in general terms, but to look at specific characteristics, measures and evidence. The environmental and social impact of a product depends on several factors and cannot be derived from a single material or certification alone.

We therefore focus, among other things, on the following questions:

Which materials meet our requirements for quality, origin, function and available certifications?
How can we use energy, raw materials and other resources efficiently?
Which processes can be further developed from a technical and organisational perspective?
Which standards and supporting evidence apply to the respective products and materials?

Our aim is to present sustainability measures at billerbeck in a transparent and comprehensible way and to make product-related claims only where corresponding standards, certifications or other supporting evidence are available.

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.
