Main targets:​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

• Zero accidents in all bob综合体育官网下载 entities
• Securing access to fresh water and proper wastewater treatment for humanity
• Support the global energy transformation
• bob综合体育官网下载 as a reliable, sustainable partner with 100% integrity worldwide

For more than 150 years, bob综合体育官网下载 is supporting customers around the world with products and services for water, wastewater and hydropower applications. As such, bob综合体育官网下载 plays an important role in contributing to the clean water and clean energy Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) established by the United Nations as well as to the sustainable use and protection of water, an environmental objective under the EU Taxonomy Regulation.

In 2019, bob综合体育官网下载 partnered with the renowned international law firm Baker McKenzie to replace the previous compliance setup by a comprehensive Compliance Management System (CMS), tailored to the risk exposure of bob综合体育官网下载 Group. With a view to international standards and guidelines (e. g. German law, U.S. FCPA, UK Bribery Act, ISO 37001), bob综合体育官网下载 Group updated its existing policies and procedures in the areas of anti-corruption (including third party due diligence), anti-trust, anti-money laundering, data-privacy, conflicts of interest and whistleblowing. At the same time, bob综合体育官网下载 improved its Governance structure in conjunction with the adaptation of its CMS.

As bob综合体育官网下载 is determined to further drive Environmental, Social & Governance topics around the globe (ESG), we decided to also address Environmental and Social initiatives systematically and holistically. As of today, bob综合体育官网下载 conducted a comprehensive risk assessment in these fields and has defined an initial set of goals, such as ISO 45001 (Health & Safety) and ISO 14001 (Environmental) certifications for all its manufacturing sites, and initiatives to specifically address our carbon footprint.

Another strong focus is on workplace safety. bob综合体育官网下载 is committed to reduce work accidents to 0 as our ultimate target. To achieve this, a system was implemented to thoroughly address safety concerns in all our sites worldwide. Meanwhile, bob综合体育官网下载 was able to significantly reduce work accidents from previous levels.
