BIRN Germany contributes to BIRN Group’s sustainability efforts

BIRN Group, of which BIRN Germany is a part, has just published its 2025 sustainability report. Although the group is still not subject to the EU’s sustainability reporting requirements, BIRN Group has once again chosen to document and highlight its sustainability efforts to customers, partners, and employees.

For BIRN Group—and thus also for BIRN Germany—the sustainability report is not just about reporting. As an international foundry group, BIRN Group is increasingly finding that customers are demanding documentation of climate impact, resource consumption, and responsible production throughout the value chain. That is why sustainability has become an integral part of how the group conducts its business.

- At BIRN Germany, we continue our focus on sustainability and the contribution to the group sustainability reporting and improvements. In 2025, we have invested in new machinery to minimize electricity and gas consumption, as well as educating talents of the future and continuous training programs for health and safety, says Dennis Klimanek, Managing Director at BIRN Germany.

At BIRN Germany, production waste is handled with a focus on recycling. Swarf from machining processes is collected and reused, and plastic and cardboard materials are sorted and recycled. Furthermore, annual and quarterly training programs for health and safety are tailored to specific tasks and roles.

The sustainability report also describes how BIRN Group works strategically with sustainability within the areas of Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG). This work is based, among other things, on the group’s materiality analysis, which identifies the areas where BIRN Group has the greatest impact and where external demands simultaneously have the greatest significance for the business.

- Although we are not yet subject to the new EU requirements for sustainability reporting, we find that our work on documentation and transparency creates value for our customers. We see a growing need for insight into areas such as climate footprint and material consumption, and therefore we want to continue to highlight our efforts and results through a comprehensive sustainability report, says Flemming Juel Jensen, Group CEO at BIRN Group.

In the areas of climate and the environment, the primary focus is on energy consumption and the volume of production waste, while the key focus in the social area is on safety, employee turnover, and age distribution. In the area of corporate governance, attention is directed toward, among other things, cybersecurity and responsible supplier relationships.

The sustainability report shows that, as a group, we are fulfilling our commitment to working in a structured manner to reduce our climate footprint, strengthen the organization, and ensure responsible management. This is a positive development that we look forward to continuing.
