First sustainability report of the Brückner Group

First sustainability report of the Brückner Group

October 17, 2022 Off By Sebastian Reisig

The companies of the Brückner Group in Siegsdorf are increasingly aligning their strategy, products and processes with the principles of sustainability. To this end, explicit sustainability management has been established in all companies over the past two years. All this is the basis of the Brückner Group’s Sustainability Report, which has now been published for the first time.

The report covers the holding company with headquarters in Siegsdorf, as well as its four member companies Brückner Maschinenbau, Brückner Servtec, Kiefel and PackSys Global with their respective subsidiaries and all foreign locations. It consists of a performance section, which is based on the “Sustainability Reporting Standards” of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), and an accompanying magazine, which refers to highlights in the sustainability area in an entertaining way. 

Dr Axel von Wiedersperg, CEO of the Brückner Group: “In many areas, the topic of sustainability is nothing new for us. As a family-owned company, we have always been committed not only to doing the right thing in the short term, but also to putting our actions into a wider context. We are convinced that lasting success is based on excellent, sustainable products, fair treatment of employees and business partners, and environmentally friendly actions. For this very reason, we are very pleased to present our first sustainability report to the public.”

The reporting period of the current sustainability report is primarily the year 2020. In addition, data from the 2021 financial year and current developments from the first half of 2022 have been presented where possible. The next sustainability report is planned for 2024.
