OUR ACTIVITIES

THOSE WHO DON'T TAKE SUSTAINABILITY SERIOUSLY ARE SAWING ON THEIR OWN BRANCH

We are convinced that a healthy environment and a healthy diet are two of the most important foundations for a pleasant and happy life. But of course we don't just want to communicate this to the outside world, we also want to live it internally. That is why we have launched a sustainability strategy with ambitious targets. We want to be measured against them. People and companies are focusing more and more on nature.


Today, the topic of sustainability permeates all areas of our lives. Our new claim reflects this guiding principle: "Our nature is our ingredient." At the end of the day, however, it is primarily our products through which we credibly communicate sustainability. If you would like to find out more about how we are committed to the topic: You can download our sustainability strategy here.

IN DETAIL

WE PUT A LOT OF ENERGY INTO A CONCEPT

Sustainability does not happen overnight, it requires an equally sustainable plan. One of these plans is our energy concept, which we are of course constantly reviewing and developing. Here are a few of the measures:

  • Introduction of energy management in accordance with DIN 50001 back in 2013 to systematically improve energy efficiency.

  • Commissioning of our highly efficient combined heat and power plant to generate our own electricity (own electricity share 50%) in 2014. Use of the CHP waste heat as process heat in the dairy.

  • Measures to reduce, avoid and minimize the use of energy are being systematically implemented on an ongoing basis.

  • Implementation of our Energy Concept 2025 with optimization of waste heat use, installation of heat pumps and optimization of the cooling supply. Goal: Reduction of CO2 emissions.

SUSTAINABILITY

THE BEST INHERITANCE IS A GOOD FUTURE

For us as a family business from the foothills of the Alps, long-term thinking, sustainable action and the resulting business decisions are as immovable as our founding year of 1887. We harmonize economic goals with ecological and social action and thus contribute to achieving the global sustainability goals, the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. In this way, we have set milestones from generation to generation and will continue to do so. For us, our closeness to nature is a living tradition and at the same time a focus on the future. We act sustainably and carefully along the entire value chain. From the farmer to production and trade. We are convinced that healthy nature and healthy nutrition are two of the most important foundations for a pleasant and happy life.

THE FLOWER MEADOW ON THE COMPANY PREMISES

NOT ONLY THE BEES FLY ON IT

You can talk a lot about sustainability, but nothing is better than experiencing it. Preferably not only in your free time, but also at work. That's why we at Bauer no longer mow our meadow and have let nature take its course instead. The result is a beautiful wildflower meadow. Meadow herbs bloom on it, which may even give our employees a great idea or two. Above all, however, it is a place to relax, it is something like our Bavarian Zen garden and also serves as a habitat for a number of animals. Butterflies, bumblebees, wild bees and other insects feel just as at home here as colleagues during their breaks. Incidentally, it performs much better than a lawn in terms of environmental impact - just ask a few insects.

OUR TRAINEES PLANT TREES

START SMALL, MAKE IT BIG

Every new planted tree helps protect the global climate. Our trainees already know that. But everyone who has planted a tree themselves has a much closer relationship with the topic and with nature. And the fact that we place great importance on sustainability at Bauer has probably already gotten around. Incidentally, some of these trainees stay with us for their entire lives. Normally, you don't like standing in someone else's shadow. But when it's the shadow of the tree you once planted yourself, that's something completely different. It literally helps us never to forget our own roots and reminds us that anyone who started small can later make it big.
