BORG Automotive Group shares 2025 ESG Report: A transformative year
BORG Automotive Group’s 2025 ESG Report highlights a year defined by transformation, resilience, and measurable progress across key focus areas. Marking the company’s 50-year anniversary and a leadership transition, 2025 set the foundation for the Refine4Future plan—strengthening governance, operational efficiency, and long-term competitiveness.
A year of transformation and strategic direction
BORG Automotive Group’s 2025 ESG Report reflects a defining year for the company. Alongside celebrating 50 years of remanufacturing expertise, the Group entered a new strategic phase with the launch of Refine4Future and a leadership transition. This marked a strengthened focus on governance, efficiency, and long-term value creation in a complex and competitive market.
Despite external challenges, including softer demand and increasing price pressure, the Group remained committed to its strategic ambitions—ensuring that short-term market dynamics did not compromise long-term development.
Strong performance across key ESG areas
In 2025, BORG Automotive Group delivered tangible progress across its ESG priorities. A key highlight was the 56% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions compared to the 2020 baseline, surpassing the company’s 2030 ambition ahead of time. This milestone reflects a focused effort to optimise operations and energy usage.
Energy transformation played a central role in reducing BORG’s Scope 1 and 2 emissions, and renewable energy now accounts for 44% of total energy consumption, achieved through investments such as solar installations and long-term energy agreements.
The Group’s circular business model continued to be a core strength. Remanufacturing represented 79% of total revenue, underlining its importance to the business. Based on lifecycle assessments, remanufactured products contributed to 45,112 tonnes of avoided CO₂e emissions compared to newly manufactured parts, demonstrating the value of extending product lifecycles.
Strengthening governance and industry collaboration
In 2025, the Group further strengthened its governance framework and ESG documentation. BORG Automotive Group maintained its EcoVadis Bronze Medal rating and joined the Forum for Automotive Aftermarket Sustainability (FAAS), reinforcing its commitment to collaboration and transparency across the industry.
These efforts support the company’s ambition to integrate ESG considerations into core business decisions and ensure consistent progress across all operations.
Outlook for 2026: Building on a strong foundation
Looking ahead, BORG Automotive Group enters 2026 with a strengthened platform for growth. While market conditions are expected to remain volatile, the Group remains focused on enhancing resilience, improving efficiency, and continuing to meet evolving customer needs.
At the same time, broader market trends support continued demand for the Group’s offerings. An ageing European car parc and a growing preference for repair over replacement are increasing the relevance of high-quality remanufactured parts. In parallel, the company is expanding capabilities in areas such as electrification and mechatronics, with a forthcoming facility dedicated to reverse engineering of automotive software serving as one example of how BORG continues to position itself for future technological developments.
A key strength supporting this journey is the ownership of Schouw & Co., which provides a solid foundation for long-term development. As a committed and responsible owner, Schouw & Co. continues to support BORG Automotive Group’s strategic direction, investments, and operational development—ensuring stability while enabling future growth.
With a strong heritage, dedicated ownership, and a clear strategic direction, BORG Automotive Group is well positioned to deliver value to customers and partners in 2026 and beyond.
