Sophisticated energy concept

BLS is expanding its workshop in Bönigen. It is being extensively renovated and modernised

The combination of photovoltaics, batteries, heat pumps and a special lake water collection system makes it possible to produce, store and efficiently utilise energy on site. Two thirds of the electricity is used in the workshop, while one third is fed into the public grid. This can supply up to 175 households.

Sustainability governance

Within BLS, strategic sustainability officers coordinate the activities of all business units. Together with the Executive Board and the Board of Directors, they are responsible for monitoring progress and setting targets in the area of sustainability. Persons responsible for sustainability have also been defined in all business divisions.
Through this holistic governance structure, BLS ensures that sustainability is not just seen as an isolated initiative, but is a central component of the company's overall development and direction.
