CSR Policy

Biomass Auctions - a company with opinions and responsibilities.

Our opinion:

Our business base is based on opening up the growing market for biomass - in all its forms, through our innovative and transparent internet auction Biomassauctions.com with the goal in every way of optimising trade between buyer and manufacturers/sellers, minimising transport and reducing the overall carbon footprint, and making it easier for heating plants to include their responsible users, their owners, and other stakeholders in the work of optimised operations.

Our mission is clear; we want to make the trade in biomass more transparent and also accessible to small manufacturers. Our goal is to inspire purchasers to develop their purchases, use the new tool - Biomassauctions.com and minimise their time spent on purchases and to ensure ongoing deliveries.

Our responsibility - CSR policy:

Biomass Auctions has a responsibility to our outside world to which our concept can contribute: increased focus and transparency in purchasing and much greater opportunity for local procurement as the purchasing process is facilitated and, thus, opens up for smaller deliveries where more people can participate and thereby make the market more dynamic.
Biomass Auctions assumes responsibility for good morals and business ethics.
We take this responsibility very seriously and have documented a code of ethics and crystal-clear attitude to CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) within our organisation and set a requirement for our partners.
Biomass Auctions code of ethics and CSR policy are fully in line with the UN Global Compact but expanded with concrete examples to ensure understanding within the organisation, of subcontractors and customers.
