How We Contribute to Climate Protection

Climate protection is a major concern for us - we are committed to the Paris Climate Agreement. In order to contribute to this, the bilstein group reduces emissions along the entire supply chain and relies, for example, on energy-efficient technologies, renewable energies, resource-saving production processes and building standards as well as a comprehensive energy-management system.

"In this way, we contribute to saving resources and at the same time live up to our identity as a family-owned company: we think and plan in terms of generations, and the protection of our environment also plays a central role in this," says Group Managing Director Jan Siekermann.
