Sustainability at Bruynzeel Storage Systems

Our vision
Our vision is to be the world leader in space saving storage solutions contributing to a sustainable planet.
In a world where space is a scarce and valuable asset, we dedicate ourselves to help organisations worldwide to use space in the most efficient and effective way to preserve their valuable documents and collections. We achieve this by providing space saving storage solutions.
“Creating space for a healthy planet”
The continuously growing population and the ongoing urbanisation increases the need for resources close to these urban areas. The use of our space saving storage solutions reduces the footprint of storage and with that the use of natural resources. Less space needed means less costs and has a huge impact on the environmental footprint.
By continuously focusing on Corporate Social Responsibility we apply best practices in energy and water stewardship and use healthy materials to support sustainability for the planet as well support users of solutions provided by Bruynzeel Storage Systems.
To reach our goal of becoming Net Zero in 2045 we have implemented a new CSR policy with ambitious goals. Interested to read more about our journey from the present reality to a brighter future?


Conserving the Past, Enhancing the Future
Perhaps the main global challenge today is how to keep the planet `in shape` for future generations to come.
Conservation is not just about storing objects or documents, it is about protecting knowledge and information which is sealed within those treasures.
We aim to do the right things for our planet and our people and to have a positive impact on the lives of our employees, their families and the local community.
