    The BSS programme aims at enhancing our customers’ sustainability - with respect to commercial as well as social and environmental best practices. Possible areas for BSS support are for example corporate governance, risk management, strategy, environmental and social management, resource and energy efficiency as well as training of staff or suppliers. We also offer you support with other challenges and develop individually tailored solutions in partnership with you and your company.
