Shaping the future through sustainable growth
Growth creates the conditions for our sustainable actions. With our products and services, we aim to create international customer-oriented value. To achieve this, we rely on our innovative solutions and trusting, efficient cooperation with our partners. Our international growth is based on solid and socially responsible financing.
EcoVadis
External input is particularly important to us as we strive toward holistic sustainability. We are transparent about our achievements and untapped potential. That is why we have our sustainability activities assessed by the independent rating agency EcoVadis. In the 2025 assessment, the BÜFA Group ranks among the top 35 percent of medium-sized companies in the category “Basic Chemical Production, Fertilizer Manufacturing, and Plastics Processing.” Particularly in the area of concrete measures, BÜFA achieved the maximum possible score in the rating in almost every category.
EcoVadis evaluates companies in the areas of the environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. BÜFA received an above-average rating particularly in the environmental category, specifically regarding energy consumption, emissions, and other environmental issues. The rating helps BÜFA achieve its sustainability goals and improve its sustainability performance. EcoVadis, founded in Paris in 2007, is the world’s largest provider of sustainability assessments, having evaluated over 100,000 companies.
In dialogue with stakeholders
BÜFA places great emphasis on transparent communication and active dialogue with various stakeholders. We aim to promote knowledge and understanding of the processing and potential applications of chemical products among employees, customers, the media, and community organizations, among others. The company offers a variety of engagement opportunities—including plant tours—for media representatives, members of the public, and school groups to provide insights into production, high safety standards, and the services we offer.
In addition, BÜFA hosts an annual Career Day for students to introduce them to the company and various apprenticeship programs. In-house events at BÜFA Cleaning Deutschland and BÜFA Composite Systems also help foster a sense of camaraderie among international colleagues. A comprehensive customer and employee survey was conducted to gain insights into brand loyalty and awareness for effective corporate branding.
Sustainable Growth
Sustainable growth is a central component of the BÜFA Group’s strategic direction. Through targeted internationalization, the company is strengthening its presence in European markets and tapping into new growth potential. At the same time, close collaboration with regional partners helps anchor value creation locally and build resilient supply chains. The diversification of the portfolio—in both existing and new application areas—increases our economic stability.
In 2025, BÜFA celebrated the 20th anniversary of BÜFA Composites Poland, which exemplifies this development: The site stands for the successful expansion of international activities, stable partnerships, and a long-term growth strategy.
“For two decades, BÜFA Composites Poland has stood for reliability, collaborative partnerships, and steady growth—values that continue to strengthen our European network.”
