SUSTAINABILITY

"As Sustainability Manager at BORBET, I follow the credo "Avoid instead of compensate". As a family business, we are aware of our responsibility for future generations and are actively committed to this. In addition to reducing the carbon footprint of our wheels, we are also actively committed to respecting human rights and actively promote biodiversity in the regions where we operate. Our mission as an automotive supplier is to play a pioneering role in sustainability and to ensure that our business activities are sustainable in the long term."

FOCUS ON SUSTAINABILITY - TOGETHER FOR SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY

As a family business, we are aware of our responsibility towards future generations. We are therefore committed to using resources sparingly and efficiently to ensure that our business is sustainable in the long term. One of our main goals is to reduce the carbon footprint of our wheels. By using recycled materials, we not only reduce our own demand for primary resources, but also contribute to reducing the environmental impact.
 
We recognise that offsetting in the automotive industry, with its complex supply chains and processes, is not always avoidable. Nevertheless, we endeavour to offset only when all other avoidance options have been exhausted. This means that we actively promote environmentally friendly and resource-conserving practices in all areas of our company.
 
Overall, we endeavour to play a pioneering role in sustainability in the automotive industry. We are committed to a sustainable future in which environmental impact is minimised and social responsibility is embraced. This is the path we are taking as a family business to make a positive contribution and create lasting value for future generations.
