Our Sustainability Strategy

Our Sustainability Strategy

Our sustainability strategy is based on identifying, understanding, and prioritizing our organization’s and operations’ impacts on the economy, environment, and people. This includes defining prioritized issues for Sustainability and pursuing continuous improvement, as well as transparently reporting our efforts to our stakeholders and other interested parties.

Like all aspects of our business management commitment, transparency, fairness, responsibility, and accountability form the basis of BANTBORU’s sustainability approach.

We define our prioritized issues for Sustainability by identifying, understanding, and prioritizing the impacts of organization and operations on the economy, environment, and people. We are giving consideration to better understand stakeholder expectations, to continuously improve our strategies and endeavors. Our understanding on these expectations provides insight on important environmental, social and governance issues, which helps us set priorities.

  • On environmental issues, we are focusing on Climate Change and reducing Carbon Emissions, Resource Efficiency with a bias on Electricity, Natural Gas and Water, as well as Waste Management.
  • On social issues, we are focusing on Business ethics, Data privacy and security, Human Rights and Working Conditions, Occupational health and safety.

In our recently instated code of conduct, we have unequivocally embraced a position of absolute intolerance towards transgressions of human rights, encompassing steadfast commitments against retribution, coerced labor, prejudicial treatment, and any form of malfeasance. These foundational tenets exemplify our unwavering dedication to upholding ethical benchmarks and fostering an equitable and inclusive workplace.

In all focus areas we are seeking ways and means for continuous improvement, while making these improvements subject to operational procedures and providing in-house workforce trainings where applicable to ensure the integration of our sustainability practices to our operations and business plans.

Materiality* and Stakeholder Engagement

Materiality and Stakeholder Engagement

We identify our key stakeholders as our customers, employees, suppliers and otherwise business and project partners, Government and regulatory bodies, NGOs (as a broader term also referring to UNGC Board and UN Women), media and the community. Engaging with and considering expectations of this stakeholder ecosystem is central to our corporate purpose and our strategy to achieve our sustainability goals and long-term success for our business.

Our materiality priorities are determined based on our company’s sense of responsibility and its urgency and capacity in addressing key issues. Stakeholder insight and universal ESG primacies, as defined by global business and sustainability networks, are also taken into consideration for each sustainability reporting period, which is defined annually in line with universal guidelines. Through these steps, we ensure tangible progress in our sustainability commitment and reporting, aligning our word with our work in line with our core values.

Issues deemed material for the purposes of determining our Sustainability strategies & activities and for the purposes of this website and our sustainability report and may not be considered material for SEC reporting purposes.
