Sustainability activities

Ian Roberts, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) explains how Bühler accelerated its sustainability activities in 2021, balancing nature, humanity, and economy in every decision. All businesses and functions put sustainability programs in place. The 2021 financial results tell us that Bühler’s model of bringing nature-, humanity-, and society-friendly solutions to market results in the desired economic development. The company is well on track to have solutions ready to multiply by 2025 that will reduce energy, water, and waste by 50% in the value chains of its customers. The goal to be a net zero company by 2030 is being driven very strongly by Manufacturing, Logistics & Supply Chain (MLS), which established a clear baseline and actions. Bühler is also supporting its customers in their net zero journeys and has evaluated the impact of its technologies and solutions in 13 value chains and 35 key solutions thus far. Bühler’s service portfolio is accelerating in terms of growth and number of services offered, and this too is optimizing the installed base of the technologies of our customers, improving efficiency, and reducing the C0₂ footprint.
