Improving the sustainability Basing our assessments on the BSI, we promote the use of Reused and recycled packaging material of our raw materials renewable raw materials, avoid using any minerals that are scarce or endangered, and sell coatings that provide proven Although we exclude recycled packing material from the Regarding our raw materials, we are working with key functional sustainability benefits for customers and society calculation for the GRI 301-2 indicator, we have numerous partners upstream to build strong and effective collaboration. while in service. We are looking at using bio-sourced raw initiatives in this regard such as the reuse of steel drums or Following our net-sustainable R&D strategy, our upstream materials and recycled plastic content in Beckers’ product plastic IBCs so they can be filled again and again. collaboration focuses on getting access to more sustainable formulations. The BSI provides a data-driven, objective raw materials. To achieve this, we use the Beckers means to measure and track the development of our Sustainability Index (BSI) – our tool that describes our sustainable product portfolio. products’ sustainability from two complimentary dimensions, Material Sustainability and Functional Sustainability. These reflect our view that coatings’ sustainability is always a combination of both the sustainable nature of the materials and processes we use to make our coatings and how our coatings are then used to add sustainable value to the article that is being coated. 09 Materials
