Future Starts
with Responsibility

Act Today.
Shape Tomorrow.

We regard it as our responsibility to make a positive contribution to a future-ready society through our technologies, processes, and solutions. In this regard, we aim to strike a balance between environmental and social aspects, foster circularity in our value chain, and contribute to the further development of a functioning circular economy.

Our Sustainability Goals
for 2030

Climate Protection

We aim to reduce our direct CO₂ emissions (Scope 1 and 2) by 50% compared to 2023. At least 25% of our electricity demand is to be covered by our own solar power systems. We are also working to continuously improve the energy efficiency of our machines and plants.
Resources and Circularity

We are continuously working to improve our solutions and production processes to use resources more efficiently and to support improvements in the recyclability of end products – guided by clear, measurable research objectives within each Business Unit.
Biodiversity

We donate more than EUR 100,000 a year to environmental organizations who engage in the reduction of plastic waste leakage to the environment.
Employees

We invest in professional development, the aim being to increase the training time per person by 30% (based on selected training programs). We also plan to fill two thirds of our management positions from our own ranks.
Supply Chain

We assess the risks of our suppliers annually, and systematically implement all necessary measures.
Compliance

Every two years, all employees receive comprehensive training on the compliance rules and ethical standards of the Brückner Group.

Here at the Brückner Group, we are guided by a holistic understanding of sustainability. As regulations tighten and awareness grows, we see the transition towards greater resource efficiency and circularity not as an obstacle, but as an opportunity. That’s why we’re expanding mono-material and alternative packaging solutions, improving material efficiency of our processes, and working to further improve the recyclability of packaging. In addition, we actively support industry initiatives while strengthening communication with our stakeholders.

With this initiative, we are showing our commitment to responsible operations, and to conscious dealings with plastics worldwide. As a technological and market leader, we aim to use our expertise to actively help shaping the future. For us, “Reduce – Reuse – Recycle” is more than a slogan; it is the starting point of our ambition.

Alliance to
End Plastic Waste

In January 2025, we joined forces with 60 other leading industrial companies, all of whom are working together to combat plastic waste. Drawing on our innovative excellence, we are championing the cause of a functioning circular economy – responsibly, looking to the future, and in tandem with strong partners.

German
Sustainability Award

In November 2024, the Brückner Group received the German Sustainability Award (DNP), recognizing our leading role in transforming the plastics and rubber industry. As a long-term oriented family business, we are committed to innovation, and solutions supporting recyclability and circular economy – driven by passion, foresight, and the strength of our group.
