Our Approach to Sustainability

As a global skin care company, we are well aware of the challenge we are facing: we want our skin care products to be used every day around the world and at the same time, we want to provide these products in the most sustainable way. For us at Beiersdorf, this means without harming the environment, in recognition of human rights along the whole value chain and to the benefit of societies around the globe.

Therefore, sustainability is deeply rooted in our corporate culture and well implemented in our decision-making and business processes. The passion and determination to act on this highly relevant topic has never been greater within our company and we work together to contribute as a business to positive global change.

From 2020 onwards we are adopting a truly holistic approach to sustainability as an integral part of our C.A.R.E.+ corporate strategy. Our new sustainability agenda CARE BEYOND SKIN circles around the three areas ENVIRONMENT, SOCIETY and CONSUMER with seven focus fields. With this extended sustainability agenda we want bundle and increase our efforts going forward.

We are currently in the process of defining targets for our seven focus fields. For some of them, we have already turned our visions for the future into ambitious targets. Find out more here about our achievements so far and our goals.
