Sustainability

Like most corporations, Barco is running an ongoing program to address carbon consumption on two sides: actual usage; and the proportion of renewables. The usage can vary over time due to market conditions. We are particularly proud to have reached 52% of renewables in 2021. 

And it’s not over yet. 

Our ambition  

We will lower our environmental footprint and those of our customers. 

• Climate change & energy 
• Product stewardship 
• Waste management

Targets 

• By 2023, reduce energy consumption in our won operations by 15% (vs2015) 
• By 2023, reduce greenhouse gas emissions from our own operations by 35% (vs 2015) 
• By 2025, reduce absolute greenhouse gas emissions by 45% (vs 2015) 
• By 2023, ensure that at least 70% of our revenues come from products with the Barco eco-label 
• By 2023, reduce the energy footprint of our products by 25% 

With an Employee Net Promoter Score of 38.5%, Barco is at the top end of the ratings in business. Yet there is still work to be done, notably in diversity. Although complicated by the covid-19 crisis, training and development programs are still a priority. 

Our ambition

We create the right conditions to enable engaging, enriching and healthy careers at Barco. We do this by encouraging them to learn and develop themselves and by ensuring a healthy working environment – both physically and mentally. We believe that an inclusive workplace embraces the diversity of our people.

As a committed corporate citizen, Barco is active in numerous community bodies and associations worldwide. In times of crisis, we stand with them. On a more functional level, training provides guidelines concerning business ethics, nurturing mentalities of “say-do” and “speak-up”.

Our ambition

We play an active role in the communities we operate in by upholding the highest ethical and quality standards and expecting the same from our business partners.
