Group report 2019
Group report 2019
Bühler Group’s business performance was stable in a volatile market environment, it increased profitability, kept turnover stable, and invested into the future. While the turnover of the food and feed business continued to grow, Advanced Materials had to cope with a decline, mainly caused by the current weakness of the global automotive industry and ongoing international trade conflicts. Our multi-pillar strategy has proven its worth under difficult conditions.

Bühler’s core topics
During the Networking Days 2019, Bühler raised its sustainability targets with the aim to reduce energy, water, and waste in our customers’ value chains by 50% by 2025. To achieve these targets, we identified five core topics and four enablers.
Focus on sustainability
It is obvious that global challenges regarding climate change and mobility are accelerating and becoming increasingly urgent. Climate change, the protein gap, loss of biodiversity, and population growth – all will have a greater impact if we don’t act now as individuals, businesses, and industries to drive change.
