Product Impact

At BD, we’re prioritizing areas where we are well-positioned to drive significant change in our industry, business and society, now and into the future. We’re committed to reducing the environmental impact of our portfolio and address the sustainability needs of our customers.

2030 Goals for Product Impact

To view progress made toward our 2030 Product Impact goals, view the FY23 Corporate Sustainability Report.

We will address plastic and packaging material consumption in our product portfolio through considerations in product design, including:

Chemical elimination/replacement
Material reduction
Safe product reuse models
Closed-loop recovery and/or open-loop recovery

We will apply minimum environmental and human health criteria (based on customer EPP2 standards) to new products and product changes to ensure meaningful and sustainable product improvements across the lifecycle.

Publish BD minimum environmental standards for products, by end of FY24

Establish medium- and long-term targets for products to meet minimum environmental standards, within 6 months of publication of the standard.

We will work to address the impact of plastics through existing and new strategic partnership that work across the value chain.
