Sustainability

We modernized our company's central location's solar power plant in 2025, maximizing the available capacity by utilizing the entire roof surface. New solar panel systems were installed at both our locations, adapting to daytime consumption and the conditions of the sites.

Since 2015, both our Győr locations have been heated and cooled without fossil fuels. The necessary energy is provided by borehole heat pumps. Hot water supply at both our locations is done with solar collectors.

The number of electric passenger cars in our fleet is growing year by year. In addition, we also converted a former diesel container transport truck to fully electric propulsion.

In 2022, we actively joined the preservation of biodiversity. As part of this, we supported the installation of three bee families in a trained beekeeper's stock. A single bee family consists of approximately 50,000 bees – these tiny pollinators play a key role in maintaining the ecosystem and protecting biodiversity. The honey produced by bees is not only a valuable gift from nature: it also gives us the opportunity to share this sustainability effort in a tangible form with our employees and partners.

With the professional support of KÖVET Association, BÜCHL Hungaria's three-year (2019-2021) carbon footprint assessment was completed. The study shows how much greenhouse gas (mainly CO₂) we emit during our activities – directly and indirectly. Based on three years of data, the main sources of our emissions are: site energy use, logistics operations, material use. The Bilan Carbone® methodology gave us an accurate picture of which areas have potential for reduction – thus supporting the achievement of our sustainability goals.

BÜCHL Hungaria Ltd. has been a member of KÖVET Association since 2003, which has been working for the spread of preventive environmental protection and sustainable corporate operation since 1995. The association's goal is to develop and promote methods that serve environmental, social and economic interests simultaneously. As part of our joint work, we regularly participate in the Győr Green Expo, support EMAS roundtable events, and have won awards several times in the 'Money Thrown Out the Window' program.

In 2025, 61% of our material handling and loading machines are already electrically powered. This ratio is constantly increasing within our fleet. With this, we significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

We cover the energy needed for our operations entirely from renewable or high-efficiency combined energy production. In 2025, we purchased 3,500 MWh of green energy.
