About

Sustainability

At BPW, sustainability is integral to our operations. For over 125 years, it has been embedded in our culture. At every stage, we emphasise eco-friendly practices, fully recognising our environmental impact.

 

Our latest sustainability report details how we uphold these values, highlighting progress in key areas:

 

  • Employee well-being.

  • Community engagement.

  • Product quality and safety.

  • Energy efficiency.

  • Environmental management.

 

As a family business, we have always thought in terms of generations rather than quarters, guided by values that consider the long-term impact on our company, employees, and society. This generational perspective is grounded in the values of the ‘honourable businessman.’ While the phrase may seem traditional, its principles are timeless and increasingly relevant: integrity, honesty, diligence, decency, respect, lawfulness, loyalty, responsibility, long-term vision, and reliability. These form the bedrock of our approach, reflecting BPW’s trust in its employees, customers, and partners. They shape our innovation and growth while reinforcing our dedication to society and the environment.

BPW’S COMMITMENT TO RESPONSIBILITY - THE UN GLOBAL COMPACT:

 

Our commitment to responsibility is demonstrated by our ongoing membership in the UN Global Compact, the world’s largest initiative for sustainable and responsible corporate governance.

 

This important global initiative pursues a vision of an inclusive and sustainable economy that benefits all people, communities, and markets, both today and in the future. The UN Global Compact upholds ten universal principles focused on human rights, labour standards, compliance, and environmental protection, as well as 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

 

As a member of the UN Global Compact, BPW reports annually on the progress and impact of our strategies and initiatives, aligning with these global principles and goals.

CODE OF CONDUCT:

 

At BPW, sustainability and responsibility are ingrained in our culture. We uphold integrity, transparency, and fairness with all stakeholders. To ensure this, we have developed a comprehensive Code of Conduct that sets out the principles guiding everyone at BPW, supporting our responsible and lawful success.

PRODUCT RESPONSIBILITY:

 

For over 125 years, BPW has been driven by a deep passion for the transportation industry and a commitment to innovation. What began as a leading supplier of axles and running gear has evolved into a pioneering force in the commercial vehicle industry. Our focus remains steadfast on enhancing the efficiency of logistics and transport through cutting-edge innovations. This includes advancements in e-mobility, lightweight construction, and digitally connected transport solutions.

 

At BPW, we believe that transport efficiency and environmental responsibility go hand in hand: the improvements that benefit hauliers also contribute to a healthier planet. Each year, the BPW Group makes significant strides in reducing resource consumption, wear and tear, downtime, congestion, and noise and exhaust emissions, while also lowering the number of empty runs.

ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT:

 

Environmental responsibility is at the heart of BPW’s ethos. We regularly assess our manufacturing processes to reduce carbon emissions and energy consumption, supporting our commitment to corporate responsibility through strategic resource management.

 

BPW sets clear targets to continually improve our energy efficiency and reduce our environmental footprint. Our ISO 14001 certifications and ISO 50001: 2018 confirm that our management systems meet global standards.
