Your sustainable energy partner
BayWa r.e. is investing in people and planet, putting sustainability at the heart of everything we do.
Making an authentic commitment to our planet
As a renewable energy business, we are fully focussed on mitigating climate change by cutting carbon emissions. This begins with fostering sustainability in our own operations.
The BayWa r.e. Sustainability Framework 2025 supports the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. Therefore, our ambition is clearly “beyond carbon” and success means more than reducing CO2 emissions. Our framework addresses social, economic, and environmental challenges with three priority objectives:
Promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)
Improving transparency in global supply chains
Fostering community acceptance of renewable energy
BayWa r.e. teams champion collective action, and endeavour to bring positive change to our communities and our planet. This is an ongoing journey; a way of thinking that aims to constantly evolve the way we work.
A proactive approach to carbon and climate
As reducing greenhouse gas emissions is a priority, we regularly review emission reduction possibilities and reduction projects. Since 2020, all our offices, warehouses and IPP sites are supplied with renewable electricity. From 2018-2023, all our scope 1, 2, and 3.6 (business travel) operative emissions were compensated by certified climate protection projects.
As of 2024, our carbon compensation approach has shifted and we aim to transfer the approach into one of climate contribution. This will be aligned with best practices for climate action and the Paris Agreement.
