With our 2030 Sustainability Strategy, we are setting the pace and contributing to transforming our industry.”
Nicklas Augustsson, Global Sustainability Director at Beckers, adds: “We have made significant progress in our sustainability work throughout 2019. Our multi-national stakeholder workshop served as one of the foundations for our 2030 strategy. Our efforts to reduce our climate impact, also in the value chain, show in the switch to intermodal transport wherever we can, and our approach to material and functional sustainability of our coatings is something we have been working on for a long time. With our social sustainability roadmap in place since 2018 we now have great results in employee growth and gender diversity.”
