For the second year in a row, the BIRN Group, which BIRN GERMANY are a part of, are publishing a sustainability report for the entire BIRN Group. The sustainability report for 2023 is structured according to the areas Environment (E), Social (S) and Governance (G) to provide the best overall picture of where we stand as a company and a group in relation to climate, environmental, social and governance initiatives, all of which must support the upcoming EU sustainability reporting requirements.
Increasing demands and expectations for sustainability
BIRN GERMANY and the BIRN Group will be subject to the EU sustainability reporting requirements from 2026, but we are already seeing increasing demands and expectations for sustainability from our customers. That is why we spent part of 2023 collecting data and preparing EPDs for the cast iron elements used in our customers' finished products.
- Data has been the focal point of the 2023 report, enabling us to make the best and most effective decisions when it comes to sustainability. We are constantly looking for opportunities to optimize the way we use energy in our companies, says Claus Beier, Group CEO of BIRN Group.
The well-being and job satisfaction of our employees are important to us at BIRN Germany. That is why in 2023 we invested in new premises for our grinding department to improve the working environment in our production.
-The new premises are equipped with sound insulation and industrial vacuum systems, so that dust and noise levels in our production is heavily reduced. Our employees are our greatest and most valuable assets, so we are always looking for ways to improve the working environment for them, says our Managing Director, Dennis Klimanek.
New bonus system
For BIRN GERMANY, happy and satisfied employees are crucial to a successful business. Therefore, we introduced a new bonus system in 2023 to reward our employees for the good results of our company:
- Our employees should also benefit when things go well. We have therefore introduced a new bonus system where employees receive both a monthly and annual bonus if the company reaches its short-term and long-term financial goals, concludes Dennis Klimanek.
