Governance
Partnering with others to do more
Taking care of the planet is a joint responsibility and requires that we all think sustainably. As a global company and manufacturer, we have the opportunity to promote good working practices throughout our supply chain that stretches beyond our own operations. We believe that partnerships are key to ensure a more sustainable tomorrow as they are key to our company’s development and success.
We work with strong and inspiring partners to make the greatest positive impact in our business, the planet and in our local communities. We are partnering with the private sector, municipalities, universities and many more – they are our source of constant guidance, expertise, and inspiration.
TASSO will continue working in partnership with other like-minded organisations to establish and tailor initiatives according to customer and industry needs and to increase our impact.
IT security is improved
The cyber threat is increasing, and as more work processes transition to a digital setup, we are intensifying our focus on employee training. Through education and exercises, our employees gain the necessary knowledge and tools to minimize the risk of cyber attacks.
Supplier agreements place high demands on social responsibility
At the BIRN Group, we are very aware of our responsibility. We therefore only enter into new agreements with suppliers who observe our Code of Conduct – a set of rules that lays down guidelines for human rights, anti-corruption, child labour and environmental requirements.

Environment
Manufacturing of cast iron includes some highly energy-consuming processes, which is why reduction of energy consumption is a key priority to us. We systematically map and analyse our data of emissions in order to keep track of the development.
Social
Concern for people and the local community runs deep in our veins. We promote the safety and well-being of our employees, and we are committed to the sustainable development of the local communities.
