The company has set four primary objectives: increasing energy efficiency, reducing the use of fossil energy sources, cutting CO2 emissions, and offsetting unavoidable emissions.
Philipp Blum, Managing Director, adds, “We will provide all the funding, resources, and information needed to achieve our sustainability goals. As a founding member of ‘turn-to-zero,’ we are committed to making our company footprint climate neutral by 2025.” He highlights the role of every employee in achieving these goals, from using reusable mugs to choosing sustainable transport options and recycling waste.
The comprehensive Sustainability Report is available online on Blum’s website, offering detailed insights into the company’s sustainable business practices and future commitments.
