In this episode of The Sustainable Leading Edge podcast, FigBytes Head of Sustainability, Kate Cacciatore, talks with Jessica Jones, Sustainability Manager at Bühler Group.
Bühler Group is a global family-owned Swiss company that creates equipment and technology for food processing and mobility solutions, and that is driven by its purpose of bringing “Innovations for a Better World”. To give an idea of the scale of the company’s activities and potential impact on society, two billion people get their daily food processed on Bühler’s equipment, and the mobility of around one billion people is based on parts made with Bühler’s technology.
In addition to her operational role in Bühler Group, Jessica is also Managing Director of One Young World Switzerland. One Young World is a civil society organization that has flourished into a global youth movement dedicated to empowering and developing young leaders to build a fair, sustainable future for all.
One of Bühler Group’s key innovations, which we hear about in this episode, is its courageous willingness to invite its employees - particularly young leaders - to actively participate in shaping how sustainability is embedded in the company’s core business as an expression of its purpose.
During the discussion, Jessica describes how Bühler Group’s purpose, values and governance reinforce a culture of innovation for sustainability and gives some concrete examples of how this translates into an evolution of its business and product and service offering.
She also talks us through some of the key features of Bühler’s sustainability strategy, including its “50-50-50” goal to help reduce energy, water and waste in their customers’ value chains by 50% and understand the impact of their products.
Finally, Jessica shares her vision for how Sustainability will become as fundamental to business as Finance, and offers some advice to companies looking to invite the young generation to participate in shaping and implementing their sustainable business strategy.
