As part of its commitment to sustainability, Blum has been supporting the latest UN Climate Change Conference, which took place from 30th November to 12th December, by ‘lending its voice’ to the ‘Vision 2045’ project.
The Austrian, family-owned company has implemented various initiatives to promote sustainability under the tagline ‘moving ideas for sustainability’. In line with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations, Blum has established climate protection, infrastructure, resource consumption and the work environment as key priorities for its business.
To mark the UN Climate Change Conference, Blum joined forces with the ‘Vision 2045’ project to produce a video showcasing its sustainability initiatives. By creating a series of documentaries of this kind, the ‘Vision 2045’ project aims to highlight the actions different businesses around the world are taking towards achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
Philipp Blum, owner and CEO of Blum, said: “We understand our responsibilities as an industry player and want to take action wherever we can.”
Among other things, the documentary highlighted Blum’s sustainable energy supply, which sees 95% of its ventilation systems equipped with heat recovery technology. This means that in spring and autumn the Blum plants in Austria are heated entirely using the waste heat from their production processes. The company also uses district heating, groundwater cooling and PV systems installed at its premises.
Philipp Blum added: “Change requires all of us. Every one of us has a vital role to play, because sustainability impacts us all.”
