A great opportunity for all of us
The concept of sustainability has always been important to BITO and is one that we are consistently pursuing.
Acting in an economically, ecologically and socially responsible manner is more than an obligation to us.
"We see this as a great opportunity for all of us. Solid management and work as well as honest, open interaction at eye level, a down-to-earth approach and keeping processes and structures simple are important contributions to this goal.
When BITO applied for the climate-neutral certificate, we did not only have the external perspective in mind, but also looked at the internal effect. After all, it is important that our employees also identify with this goal."
Winfried Schmuck, Managing Director of BITO-Lagertechnik
What is needed is a change in thinking and acting
For BITO, sustainable development requires a new mindset that affects all fields of business activity. Thanks to innovative technologies and processes, sustainable management can be implemented throughout the entire supply and value chain. We believe that the careful selection of raw materials, resource and environmentally friendly processing methods, sustainable materials and efficient logistics as well as the involvement of our customers are important prerequisites.
As experience shows, sustainable development and economic growth are no conflicting values. On the contrary, they promote innovative strength and performance, help to achieve a balanced price-performance ratio, promote fairness in business with staff, suppliers and customers, and create awareness for environmental and social concerns.
We have been certified as a "Climate Neutral Company" by the TÜV Rheinland
We are guided by ambitious goals with regard to climate protection and the sustainable conservation of resources, and we want to continue on this road. For us, certification as a climate-neutral company is the logical step in an ongoing process.
Since September 2021, BITO-Lagertechnik has been holding the "Climate Neutral Company" certificate which is awarded by the TÜV Rheinland Group, the leading provider of technical services worldwide. The certificate confirms that BITO is compensating its audited CO₂ emissions with measures taken in the field of climate protection. The certificate is based on a calculated corporate carbon footprint. We are certified climate-neutral according to Scope 1+2 and use electricity that is 100% generated from renewable sources. To neutralize scope 3 emissions, we are cooperating with a provider of carbon offset projects such as GOLDSTANDARD or myclimate.
Today, running a business means much more than making profit.
"We are using up nature’s resources faster than ever, although many raw materials are only available in limited quantities. The effects of climate change on the environment, on society and the economy have long since become impossible to ignore. Sustainable corporate governance means not only acting in harmony with nature, but also with the people who work for and with the company, thus assuming social responsibility for a future worth living.”
