We are investing in new systems and technologies to protect the environment and conserve resources. For example, our new paper disposal system uses a third less electricity than the previous system. And with 474 solar panels on our building, we have recently started generating a third of the electricity we use ourselves. Secondly, we are facing up to the social realities of the present. We do not see our employees as anonymous numbers, but as people from different backgrounds and with their own life stories and concepts.
For us, diversity is not just an empty slogan, but a matter of course. Thirdly, we are committed to Switzerland as a production location. It allows for direct communication, fast response times and short, energy-saving distances – and it secures jobs and apprenticeships in our country.
«We are here and think further» means that Bubu fulfils its social responsibility – every day and everywhere!
To find out, we asked EcoVadis, the international provider of sustainability assessments, to scrutinise our company. The focus was not only on environmental issues, but also on the broad topic of corporate social responsibility. By answering a questionnaire covering a wide range of topics from the areas of the environment, labour and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement, we provided EcoVadis with the basis for the assessment. EcoVadis recognised our above-average performance in all areas examined and awarded us a bronze award.
We are proud to be a Swiss production facility and endeavor to support our local partners whenever we can. As a member of dpsuisse, the Swiss association for professionals and employers in the graphic design industry, we always strive to make sure that the materials used in our premium products originate from local or regional partners.
As a Swiss family business, we take our responsibility toward the next generation seriously – for example, by giving young people the opportunity to complete an apprenticeship in one of our business divisions each year.
We invest in climate protection.
We have entered into an agreement with the federal government on ongoing energy optimisation to increase energy efficiency and save energy. Every year, the measures taken are evaluated by act and continuously developed further.
This approach enables us to make a valuable contribution to climate protection.
When processing our partners' materials, we treat the environment with care and respect and ensure that our production units are always in line with the latest technical trends.
We also support the myclimate foundation through direct grants, in particular the project ‘Forest reserve in the Jura saves CO₂ and promotes biodiversity (Switzerland)’. In a forest reserve in the Jura, wood is not being utilised. The resulting increase in wood biomass stores CO₂, reducing its concentration in the air. In addition, not using wood creates a habitat for endangered animal species such as the yellow-ringed butterfly, alpine longhorned beetle and wildcat.
This project is close to our hearts and we are delighted with every customer we are able to inspire.
