On behalf of the renowned German business magazine WirtschaftsWoche, 4,000 German medium-sized companies were examined and the 50 most sustainable were determined. The Brückner Group in Siegsdorf is one of them – as one of only four mechanical engineering companies. This recognises the sustainable corporate governance and explicit sustainability management of all members of the Brückner Group. The management holding Brückner Group, as well as Brückner Maschinenbau, Brückner Servtec, Kiefel and PackSys Global with all their subsidiaries and foreign locations were confirmed: Sustainability is anchored in the core of the companies, ESG goals (ESG = Environmental, Social & Corporate Governance) are closely linked to the company's values and mission statement as well as its corporate objectives, and sustainability efforts are reported on in detail and transparently.
For the second time since 2022, the ranking examined which companies in the German SME sector are pioneers in the areas of ecology, social affairs and responsible corporate governance. For this purpose, the respective ESG initiatives were analysed in a multi-stage analysis process. A specially developed "Sustainability Score" evaluates the commitment based on three criteria: ESG perception, ESG documentation and ESG implementation.
Dr. Axel von Wiedersperg, CEO of the Brückner Group: "The fact that we as a group of companies belong to Germany's 50 most sustainable medium-sized companies is of course a huge award. On the one hand, it is recognition for our constant efforts towards a sustainable corporate culture, on the other hand, it is also an incentive to become even better when it comes to reconciling ecology and social issues with long-term economic success."
The Brückner Group is a family-owned, medium-sized group of companies with a total of more than 2,900 employees at 20 locations worldwide.
