By 2011 Sustainability Report
Positive results in sustainability - despite more challenging conditionsIn its recently published "2030" strategy, the BKW Group (BKW) once again confirmed its sustainability targets. These can be summed up as corporate agility and responsible interaction with the environment, the economy and the community. Despite difficult operating conditions, BKW is able to record positive results for sustainability in 2011.
The principles of sustainable development have for many
years been a corner-stone of BKW's thinking, and it
once again confirms this approach in its presentation of
the "BKW 2030" strategy. As an infrastructure
company, BKW assumes joint responsibility for augmenting
the overall environmental, economic and social benefits as
part of an on-going process.
2011 was an extremely challenging year for BKW. The
company's development was impacted by political,
regulatory and economic factors, and by events in Japan and
the resulting new energy policy. BKW reacted with "BKW
2030", its new group strategy which focuses on
innovative, energy-efficient products, renewable energy
production, grid business and the further development of
energy services. BKW firmly believes its strategic
realignment will enable it to consolidate and strengthen
its position as leading energy supplier with a commitment
to sustainability.
The 2011 Sustainability Report deals with three topics that
were of relevance for BKW and external interest groups in
the year under report: Mühleberg nuclear power plant,
group-wide cost reduction and human resource measures, and
the expertise required to construct small-scale hydro power
plants. BKW shows how it approached the various aspects
from a sustainability viewpoint and draws particular
attention to the various challenges involved.
The report will be published on the BKW website. www.bkw.ch/sustainability-report
