Memberships

The worldwide “AIM-PROGRESS” initiative brings together more than 40 leading manufacturers of Fast Moving Consumer Goods to improve cooperation in the supply chain. Beiersdorf uses the platform, which operates under the banner “Achieving more together”, to promote responsible purchasing practices and greater sustainability throughout the supply chain.

The “Sustainable Palm Oil Forum” (FONAP) aims to significantly increase the proportion of sustainably produced palm oil in the DACH region as quickly as possible while at the same time improving existing standards and certifications. As a founding member of FONAP, Beiersdorf is actively involved in the dialogue and the exchange of experience, and contributes to the timely conversion to sustainably certified palm and palm kernel oil.

The “HolyGrail 2.0” is a cross-supply chain initiative by AIM, the European Brands Association. It aims to achieve a better sorting and therefore higher-quality recycling by applying a digital watermark technology to packaging. As a member of this joint approach Beiersdorf is supporting a circular economy together with 80+ other companies in the EU.

Suppliers can share sustainability data on their procurement practices via the “Sedex” cooperation platform. Using it gives Beiersdorf an insight into the responsible actions and sustainability efforts of suppliers, which creates greater transparency in the supply chain.

The “United Nations Global Compact” (UNGC) is the world’s largest and most important initiative for responsible corporate governance. Beiersdorf is a member of the UNGC and is committed to its ten Principles in the areas of human rights, labor standards, the environment and climate, and corruption prevention.
