Bystronic’s first sustainability report

Job

The pursuit of sustainable value creation is anchored in Bystronic’s 2025 corporate strategy. The idea is to align environmental and economic considerations. The company wants to help create a better future with the material sheet metal. Bystronic is committed to contributing to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) via its own sustainability goals. The company commissioned Linkgroup to conceive and produce a sustainability report. From now on this is to be an essential element of its corporate communications, effectively communicating Bystronic’s sustainability strategy to the various stakeholders. The first sustainability report was a key component of Bystronic’s new living brand, intended to convey the company’s new image in a fresh and inspiring way.
