Our new sustainability agenda CARE BEYOND SKIN – our contribution to the SDGs
Humanity is
facing a growing amount of environmental and societal challenges and the
urgency, especially for global companies, to act and to contribute to a positive
change has never been higher.
To
address the current global challenges, the United Nations have established a
framework for sustainable development through the “Sustainable Development Goals” (SDGs). These are
aimed at national economies, companies, and civil societies around the world.
Sustainability has thus become the norm - and an obligation for all social
actors more than ever before.
At Beiersdorf we are committed to fulfilling our responsibility and plan to expand our efforts going forward. Therefore, guided by the SDGs and the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact, we have developed a new sustainability agenda, CARE BEYOND SKIN, which is now an integral part of our C.A.R.E.+ corporate
strategy. We formulated our corporate purpose – CARE BEYOND SKIN – and with this, put our existing self-understanding into words. It states very clearly that we see our responsibility as going far beyond our core business of skin care. We want to make a contribution towards consumers*, society and the environment.
Our new sustainability agenda defines seven focus fields, which are assigned to the areas ENVIRONMENT, SOCIETY and CONSUMER and illustrate our key areas of impact along the entire value chain and beyond.
