Managing sustainability
With our ambitious sustainability strategy, Barco aims to enable a brighter tomorrow for the planet, its people and communities. We meticulously manage our sustainability goals, not only by describing the roles and responsibilities, but also by establishing the right framework to execute our ambitions.

Policies that define our commitment to environmental management and the health and safety of our employees
Governance
Governance keeps our corporate sustainability strategy on track. It ensures that our strategy remains effective, and that accountability for our results sits right at the top of our company. Keeping track of our ambitious sustainability goals requires the needed focus and a clear framework of roles and responsibilities.
The complete framework of the sustainability responsibilities is clearly defined and owned by the business.

Materiality
Defining which issues impact our business is a tough job that needs the right attention. Without defining the materialities of the organization, there can be no focused sustainability plan.
That's why we conduct a materiality assessment every three years. Only in this way, we can ensure that our strategy focuses on the right areas.
