The information provided refers to two different organizations, the "Berufsgenossenschaftliche Bildungsstätten Süddeutschland e.V." and the "BS Group of Companies". Since the website https://bg-bs.de refers to the "Berufsgenossenschaftliche Bildungsstätten Süddeutschland e.V.", it is described here.
The Berufsgenossenschaftliche Bildungsstätten Süddeutschland e.V. is a non-profit association founded in 1964. The main purpose of the association is to research the causes of occupational accidents and diseases and to educate entrepreneurs and insured persons about their prevention. For this purpose, the association regularly offers workshops and courses.
The association operates three educational institutions in Eppstein (since 1970), Illertissen (since 1976) and Jößnitz (since 1996). Approximately 20,000 people are trained annually in over 1,000 seminars. These trainings focus on the theory and practice of occupational safety and are carried out by the Berufsgenossenschaften.
Although no specific sustainability goals are mentioned, the educational offerings indirectly contribute to sustainable development by promoting the health and safety of participants and thus having long-term positive impacts on the world of work.
The members of the association are the Berufsgenossenschaften, who can use the educational institutions in proportion to their shares. Non-members can also benefit from the available capacities. The board of the association is represented by alternating chairmen.
This organization thus makes a central contribution to creating a safer working environment through education and research.
