Our goal: creating sustainability through innovation

Our goal: to maintain value and longevity. Our contribution: innovative products for a clean home and a clean future.

As early as 1982, when lakes and rivers were being polluted by phosphates in detergents, we developed phosphate-free Stain Salt. Today, we continue to help customers around the world care for their homes, textiles and appliances sustainably and enjoy them for longer.

As a family-owned company with strong values, we are aware of our responsibility – and we carry this with us as we grow internationally. As we take concrete action across the world, we’re ensuring that our world stays clean, now and in the future.

Our commitment: sustainability along the entire supply chain

On our journey towards greater sustainability, Dr. Beckmann Group is pursuing a range of goals and measures: 

  • Much of our packaging is already made from recycled materials and is also recyclable. We are constantly expanding the recyclability of all our packaging.
  • We rely on certified raw materials of natural origin for our products. At the same time, we keep an eye on effectiveness so that our end users can save water and electricity.
  • We select our service providers and suppliers based on ecological and social criteria. We increase the sustainability of our processes in order to reduce our CO2 emissions – along the entire value chain.
  • We generate environmentally friendly, renewable energy with over 8,000 m² of photovoltaic panels on the roofs of our production sites in Egelsbach and Bolton.

"We use recyclable and resource-efficient packaging materials. It is important that these are returned to the cycle. For us, waste is material in the wrong place."

Monika Korbmann, Packaging Engineer

Our social commitment: neighbourly and value-oriented

As a company, we bear responsibility – including for the people in our environment. At our locations around the world, we support local social projects in the neighbourhood in accordance with our corporate social responsibility (CSR):

  • In the area surrounding our headquarters in Egelsbach, Hessen, we partner with the LernOrt Birkenhof e. V.: Here, both, young and old people learn about natural farm processes and find valuable inspiration for a developing a sustainable lifestyle.
  • Our team in Manchester, UK, has been involved for years in many local initiatives, supporting the Forever Manchester and Salford Foundation charities.
  • We also incorporate our One Team concept into various initiatives. Among other things, we have collected food for the Interfaith Food Pantry Network in the US and supported the reforestation of damaged forest areas in Hesse, Germany, with the Baum (Tree) campaign.

 

Our purpose: making everyone's life easier in the long term

We are a team, and our purpose is our trainer. Responsibility connects us and inspires us to achieve our best performance – and stands for:
