With climate responsibility as a business model
As a group of production and supply companies, Balco Group has a direct impact on the environment. The Group takes great responsibility in mitigating the negative impacts of production and transport, while developing products to create opportunities for customers to reduce their energy consumption.
Part of Balco Group's strategy is developing climate-smart products that offer our customers real energy savings and have been produced with as little impact on the climate as possible. Successful implementation of the strategy requires attention to both product development and the design of effective processes and procedures. The aim is that the choice of materials and the use of water and energy minimise the environmental impact and emissions to air, soil and water.
Since 2021, Balco Group has been a member of the UN Global Compact, which means that parts of the Group's strategy are linked to Agenda 2030. In the context of environmental work, it specifically relates to UN Global Goal 9 - Sustainable Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, and Goal 12 - Sustainable Consumption and Production, and specifically to targets 9.4 and 12.5. The sub-goals specify how the Group can work to contribute to a more sustainable industry through active efforts to reduce emissions and energy use and adapt production through more efficient use of resources and management of waste and recycling.
