Responsibility & Sustainability

For the good of our planet

Burda is a family business with the values to match. We embrace our social responsibilities. And together, we can make a difference: to our company, to society and to our environment. We want all our business decisions to be based on ecologically sustainable actions and enterprise. This not only includes maintaining a detailed and transparent emissions balance, but also establishing and expanding sustainable products and initiatives like #beebetter, Vinted and Efahrer.

How we make a difference

We also make a difference by capitalising on the reach and social relevance of our brands. For example, since 2001 our Tribute to Bambi Foundation has provided year-round support for projects aimed at helping children and young people. For two decades, the Felix Burda Foundation, established by Hubert Burda, has been increasing awareness of colorectal cancer prevention throughout Germany. Wide-ranging social commitment has been an integral of Burda’s DNA – both the family and the company – for generations.

Getting better

In 2019, we launched the “getting better” sustainability programme, which aims to reduce CO2e emissions throughout the corporation. Visit the website for information on the latest emissions balance and our environmental and climate protection principles.

Burda bewegt

“Burda bewegt” is the company-wide initiative through which Burda puts social responsibility into practice. Burda uses it to encourage and support its employees as they get involved in social projects close to their hearts. The wide-ranging expertise within the Burda network gives small projects a major boost.

Burda foundations

For two decades now, our foundations have made a long-lasting commitment to key social, health and socio-political issues. We network and provide support, raise awareness of misfortune, establish dialogue and give social initiatives a platform.

eatbetter

Climate and environmental protection is a task for the century and also affects the way we eat. With our eatbetter initiative, we want to support everyone interested in eating healthier and more sustainably. And we do it without much effort, with simple ingredients, and in a way that is easy to implement in everyday life.
