Sustainability
at Bilfinger
Vital to our strategy
Sustainability is a fundamental part of our Group strategy. Our services help our customers in achieving their sustainability goals. We increase efficiency in the process industry, enhance the efficiency of facilities and reduce emissions.
It is our vision to be No. 1 for our customers in enhancing efficiency and sustainability.
In order to generate sustainable, profitable growth, Bilfinger has identified two strategic levers:
One focus is on the internal perspective – Bilfinger continuously improves its operational excellence. In the future, we will offer our products in all of our markets and regions. We rely on standardized workflows, flat hierarchies and strict cost discipline.
Another focus is on the external perspective – Bilfinger is positioning itself as a solutions partner for its customers. Our comprehensive industrial service portfolio supports our customers in increasing their efficiency and sustainability. We help them to consume fewer resources, to increase their energy efficiency and to reduce both costs and emissions.
Sustainability is firmly anchored in our company: It is part of our mission statement, our Code of Conduct and other guidelines.
Bilfinger acts as a strategic partner for the process industry, delivering comprehensive services and decades of experience to help our customers achieve their sustainability goals. We are determined to become no. 1 when it comes to increasing efficiency and sustainability for our customers."
Dr. Thomas SchulzGroup CEO at BilfingerSustainability is a key component of our corporate strategy. We use an indicator-based approach that creates transparency both internally and externally. Further key figures have been added to the non-financial Group declaration, including the frequency of all work-related accidents and market-based measurements of CO2 emissions in accordance with the GHG Protocol. The content is now clearly divided into the areas of Environment, Social and Governance, significantly improving comparability with other companies."
Matti JäkelGroup CFO at BilfingerKey sustainability topics
For years, we have been conducting materiality analyses to identify the most important areas of activity for our company in terms of sustainability. The results of these analyses shape our approach in the areas of environment, social and governance (ESG).
They relate in particular to climate change, our own workforce and that in our value chain, as well as good corporate governance. These topics are relevant for our two strategic levers of positioning and operational excellence.
Two approaches in the implementation of our strategy:
The needs and expectations of our customers determine our actions. With high quality services, Bilfinger increases efficiency and sustainability.
Satisfied employees identify with Bilfinger and make a significant contribution to the company’s success. That is why their development, well-being and commitment are particularly important to us.
Bilfinger can only develop successfully in close partnership with its suppliers. Both sides benefit from a trusting and reliable cooperation.
As a listed stock corporation, we are obliged to our investors to lead Bilfinger to sustainable profitable growth.
Our clearly defined corporate goals are transparent for all stakeholders. This allows all parties to work towards shared success. Thanks to the clear allocation of functions and lean management and administration, we can work efficiently in all areas.
By increasing efficiency and sustainability, we support the following United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):
