Our progress

By 2030, we want our operations and supply chain to make a positive contribution to sustainability.

This means that our sites strive to achieve carbon neutral business activities, while our operations endorse the principles of circular economy, where resources are conserved and repurposed. We are also working together with our supply chain partners to make sure they follow the same corporate social responsibility standards as Beckers, ensuring that our commitment to sustainability extends beyond our company and into the wider network of businesses we work with.
