At BSH, we pursue a holistic approach to sustainability, considering three key aspects: Environment, Social and Governance. This is the foundation of our successful business.
To build that foundation, we evaluate and balance these areas:
At BSH, we aim to support climate protection and to save precious resources. Since 2020, all BSH locations worldwide operate CO2-neutral. With our high-quality and energy- and water-saving home appliances as well as with our services, we help to consume in a sustainable manner and to reduce waste.
We at BSH want to contribute to the transformation to a sustainable society and the empowerment of people, because people are at the heart of what we do. We care about the health and safety of our employees and support selected social organizations.
We are committed to sustainability standards, both internally and along the value chain together with our partners.
CDP
The CDP is a not-for-profit charity, which established a disclosure system for companies, investors, cities, states and regions in order to measure their environmental impact. Originally focusing solely on carbon disclosure and climate impact, CDP broadened the disclosure scope and currently includes deforestation and water security.
Over 23,000 companies are currently reporting via CDP. Among them is our parent company Robert Bosch, which scored “A” regarding its Climate Change activities and hence is amid the 299 companies in 2022 who made it to the A list and “are leading the way in environmental transparency and performance on climate change”.
SBTi
The Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) is an NGO based on a partnership between the CDP, UN Global Compact, World Resource Institute and the WWF. It enables corporate climate action by developing scientific standards based on which companies and financial institutions can set their specific greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets regarding time and scope. These science-based targets are also validated by the SBTi and ensure companies’ alignment with the Paris Agreement to limit global warming.
Over 4,200 companies worldwide have set SBTi approved targets. Among them is our parent company Robert Bosch. SBTi has endorsed the company’s near-term climate targets for the 1.5 degree pathway for the entire value chain – from purchasing to the product use phase.
