Main Achievements
We are committed to our Net-Zero 2040 Ambitions, working across the ESG spectrum to set our strategy for the decades ahead. Our ambition is to achieve the boldest carbon emissions commitment in our industry: carbon neutrality by 2040 – the year that marks the 200th anniversary of Behn Meyer. We have mapped out this transformational journey with long-term goals and near-term targets in four pillars: Environment, Labor and Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement.
For the near-term 2025 target, we will focus on energy conservation and emissions reductions; execute water management and waste disposal plans; and ensure positive impacts on local communities and the environment.
Steps to Sustainability (NEW):
Behn Meyer’s four pillars of sustainability strategy are formed based on insights gained from in-depth engagement with our employees and customers, the results of EcoVadis® assessment, and input from Behn Meyer business representatives. The four pillars are:
· Environment Pillar - We are dedicated to catalysing the transition to become a more sustainable manufacturer and distributor for the chemical, agricultural and life science industries. We optimise the use of planetary resources in our operations and supply chain in a manner that minimises environmental impacts.
· Labor and Human Rights Pillar - We are guided by our values of trust, integrity and respect for one another. We invest in the development and well-being of our workforce in order to build current and future capacity that can create value for the business, stakeholders and the communities we serve.
· Ethics Pillar - We are committed to fostering a culture of responsibility and conducting our business in accordance with the highest ethical and legal standards across all our business activities.
· Sustainable Procurement Pillar - Our practices ensure that the procurement process is fair and transparent. This is enabled by the principles of sustainable procurement for the evaluation of our supply chain.
