BIRN Group, of which ULDALL is a part, has just published its 2025 sustainability report. Although the group is still not subject to the EU’s sustainability reporting requirements, BIRN Group has once again chosen to document and highlight its sustainability efforts to customers, partners, and employees.
For BIRN Group—and thus also for ULDALL—the sustainability report is not just about reporting. As an international foundry group, BIRN Group is increasingly finding that customers are demanding documentation of climate impact, resource consumption, and responsible production throughout the value chain. That is why sustainability has become an integral part of how the group conducts its business.
- At ULDALL, we are pleased to be part of a comprehensive and robust reporting framework where our efforts in areas such as energy efficiency, workplace safety, and social responsibility become visible and meaningful. This motivates us to continue the good work across the group, says Dion Brun, Sales Director at ULDALL.
By 2025, ULDALL will have installed, among other things, a new exhaust system with heat recovery in the core production facility, which contributes to more efficient energy utilization. In addition, there is a strong focus on ensuring a skilled and diverse workforce through recruitment, skills development, and local engagement, including guided tours for school classes and close collaboration with the job center.
The sustainability report also describes how BIRN Group works strategically with sustainability within the areas of Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG). This work is based, among other things, on the group’s materiality analysis, which identifies the areas where BIRN Group has the greatest impact and where external demands simultaneously have the greatest significance for the business.
- Although we are not yet subject to the new EU requirements for sustainability reporting, we find that our work on documentation and transparency creates value for our customers. We see a growing need for insight into areas such as climate footprint and material consumption, and therefore we want to continue to highlight our efforts and results through a comprehensive sustainability report, says Flemming Juel Jensen, CEO of BIRN Group.
In the climate and environment area, the main focus is on energy consumption and the volume of production waste, while the key social issues are safety, employee turnover, and age distribution. In corporate governance, attention is directed toward cybersecurity and responsible supplier relationships, among other things.
The sustainability report shows that, as a group, we are committed to working in a structured manner to reduce our climate footprint, strengthen the organization, and ensure responsible leadership. This is a positive development that we look forward to continuing.
