Bosch a Champion in
Remanufacturing
Franz Fehrenbach , Chairman of the Bosch Board of Management,received the "Ökomanager
des Jahres 2006" ("Eco-manager of the year 2006") award on November 22,
2006, at a ceremony attended by the governor of Baden-Württemberg, Günther
H. Oettinger. The environmental foundation WWF Germany and the magazine
Capital award this title to business people who show exemplary commitment to
environmental protection and sustainable, resource-conserving development.
Bosch`s long tradition of protection of the environment and conservation of
resources and the importance it attaches to this issue. In developing new
products, Bosch thinks far beyond the short term. Projects range from
alternative automotive drive concepts to renewable energy supplies, such as
solar thermal technology, which uses the sun to generate heat. To continue
developing innovative technology, Bosch spends heavily on research and
development.
A further contribution of Bosch toward the conservation of environment and
resources is product recycling. The Automotive Aftermarket Division offers
under the designation "Bosch Exchange" remanufactured automotive equipment,
for example starters and alternators. Replacement parts are, as compared to
new parts, up to 30 percent cheaper – though their quality is the same. With
a volume of some 1.5 million remanufactured automotive parts in the year
2005, Bosch is one of the leading suppliers in the segment worldwide.
On behalf of the APRA Board and APRA members: well done, very sincere
congratulations!
