Sustainability at Bosch Rexroth

Now is the time to take action if we are to leave future generations with a planet that is worth living on. Here at Bosch Rexroth, we are doing our bit to ensure that you are able to rise to this challenge.

Achieving sustainability the pragmatic way

A pragmatic approach to sustainability

Leaving our descendants with a planet that is worth living on: That is the biggest challenge facing our generation. We are doing our bit to ensure that you can rise to this challenge. Throughout our company history, which dates back more than 225 years, we have helped our customers to achieve success with innovative products and practical solutions. For greater sustainability in factory automation, industrial hydraulics, and mobile machines, we provide innovative components and quickly workable solutions for greater energy efficiency and flexibility, while decarbonization and the economical use of resources pave the road to carbon zero and a circular economy. WE MOVE. YOU WIN.

Doing our homework

When we talk about sustainability, the first thing we do is our homework. Management systems for health, safety, and the environment play an established role in our factories. With GoGreen, we have been systematically optimizing all of our company plants and numerous other factories since 2011. Since 2020, our plants around the world have been climate-neutral thanks to energy efficiency, New Clean Power, green electricity, and carbon offsetting. The advantage for you is that our components and solutions reduce the CO₂ footprint of your machines and systems, which means you are helping to protect the environment before you even switch them on. Incidentally, you can take advantage of our experience to optimize the energy efficiency of whole factories – and use our quick, practical solutions to stay one step ahead when it comes to sustainability.

Increases in efficiency for green industries

Increased efficiency for green industries

Be it wind power, photovoltaics, recycling, green hydrogen, or carbon capture and storage: We have assisted green industries from the initial concepts and prototypes through to the scaling of mass production for decades. We support innovative green ideas with our automation expertise and provide efficient components and modules for operating these applications. OEMs rely on partnerships with Bosch Rexroth in order to speed up development of fully electric mobile machines.

Pragmatic optimizer

Based on experience gained in our own plants, we know that pragmatic solutions are needed in order to give equal consideration to ecology and economy: This means optimizing existing machines with minimal effort to improve energy efficiency, working in a way that makes efficient use of resources, and viewing all technologies in an integrated manner when dealing with new concepts. This applies to all sectors and applications. Back in 2008, we developed the sector’s first universal system for exploiting the full energy-saving potential of all technologies and applications. You benefit in the form of products and solutions with built-in sustainability. They also fit seamlessly into your strategies for the digital transformation and connection of all technologies.

The effect is what counts

You view the effects of sustainable solutions in a holistic manner: In large systems, you want a modern, energy-efficient hydraulic power unit that will save many megawatt hours of energy every year while also increasing availability. In factory automation, even small savings in components used millions of times add up to similar figures. We always aim to achieve double added value for you: higher energy efficiency and increased productivity, material-saving production solutions and greater flexibility, lower diesel engine speeds for mobile hydraulics and automated work processes. Put simply: More and Less.

Successful together

Passing on a planet worth living on to the next generations through greater sustainability: This challenge can only be solved by working together. We therefore work with you, our customers, suppliers, scientists, and public authorities in wide range of projects. Together, we always find new ways of protecting the climate through greater energy efficiency and more sparing use of natural resources. How can we work together to help you achieve your goals? WE MOVE. YOU WIN.

Sustainability in the Factory of the Future

"More and Less" is central to our vision for factory automation. See how you can be a part of the sustainable Factory of the Future.

Sustainability in Connected Hydraulics

Modern, energy-efficient hydraulics are vital to the creation of a sustainable planet. Today, they are more capable, connected, and available than ever before, whilst requiring far less valuable energy.

Sustainability in Mobile Machines

Our next generation of mobile machines offers more power, more safety, more efficiency, and more intelligence – all whilst producing less CO₂ and requiring far less energy to operate.
