Let’s gear up and move forward towards a more sustainable future.

Barco approaches sustainability from three main pillars: the planet, people and communities – each has their role to play. 

It’s not just about what we do.
It’s also about how we do it!

 

Sustainability is a mind-set. From producing energy-efficient solutions for different industries to ensuring the ongoing personal development of our teams and the communities they live in, Barco considers sustainability as a key pillar of its work.

We aim:

  • to lower our own environmental footprint and those of our customers.
  • to invest in sustainable employability by enabling careers that are engaging, enriching and healthy.
  • to build an inclusive workplace that embraces the diversity of our people.
  • to play an active role in the communities we operate in by upholding the highest ethical and quality standards. 
  • to deliver added value to our customers through our solutions, services and capabilities. We help ensure more people can participate in and benefit from the innovation society.

Barco is rated by several independent organizations on its sustainability performance. Read more. 

Governance keeps our corporate sustainability strategy on track

Governance ensures that our strategy remains effective, and that accountability for our results sits right at the top of our company.

Our external commitments

We collaborate with and support third party initiatives and platforms.

Lowering our environmental footprint and those of our customers

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% 

#WeAreVisioneers

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.

Empowering communities and doing what is right

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. We always aim to deliver added value to our customers through our solutions, services and capabilities. In addition, we help ensure more people can participate in and benefit from the innovation society.
