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. Our “For Our Planet” publishing initiative informs, inspires and mobilises people and companies to act more sustainably. 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 umbrella under which Burda lives social responsibility. As part of the company-wide initiative, Burda also encourages and supports its employees to get involved in social projects that are close to their hearts. With the diverse competencies of the Burda network, small projects are thus made big.

Compliance

Compliance for us means responsibility for our actions as entrepreneurs, for our employees, for society and for the environment. For entrepreneurial generations as a family business, we have lived out responsibility with the goal of actively driving positive change in society.
