Sustainability

The subject area “Climate Change” includes all environment and climate effects caused by the business activities of BAUMANN. This perspective encompasses both the economic activities of BAUMANN and those of the upstream and downstream supply chains. The resulting wide spectrum of subject areas (e.g., materials, energy, water, biodiversity, chemicals, waste) demands additional focusing. Without disregarding other environment and climate effects, BAUMANN will be concentrating especially on the reduction of the CO2e emissions until2026. Hereby, BAUMANN follows the internationally recognized CO2e balancing standard, the “GHG Protocol”. CO2e emissions from their own as well as in upstream and downstream supply chains (Scope 1, 2, 3) are considered.

The subject area “Business Integrity” encompasses all aspects which could potentially affect the integrity of BAUMANN. This perspective especially includes the immediate sphere of influence of the organization. Compliance with the regional, national and global regulatory specifications goes without saying for BAUMANN and is non-negotiable. Furthermore, BAUMANN is committed actively and unmistakably to the observance of basic human rights along the supply chain concerned. BAUMANN particularly represents the position of zero tolerance towards child labor, corruption and bribery. Finally, BAUMANN looks after the health and safety of its staff and minimizes possible stresses for man and the environment resulting from BAUMANN’s commercial activities. Below, it is explained what effects the adherence to ethical standards have on stakeholders. The defined task and corresponding measures are also described.

The subject area of “Employee Well-Being & Development” covers all aspects which influence the well-being of the employees as well as their personal and professional development. This perspective particularly but not ultimately includes important aspects such as safety and health at the workplace, basic and further training possibilities, diversity and equal opportunities or a discrimination-free working environment. Because this is such a broad subject area, the relevant data on the employees and their diversity were collected in an initial step. For the coming year it is planned to develop a global strategy for the long-term improvement of the well-being of the employees.

The subject area “Sustainable Innovation” covers innovation projects of BAUMANN which pursue an additional sustainability purpose in addition to their business-related value. This perspective encompasses innovation projects in the areas of environment, social and corporate governance. BAUMANN employees should be given the chance to present, develop and finalize their ideas on the subject of sustainability. The “Sustainable Innovation” subject area therefore provides a platform for living sustainability
