Society

Our vision is a world where we all feel good in our skin, no matter who we are or where we come from. Our Beiersdorf core values of care, trust and courage are the foundation for this and practiced across our entire value chain: from supplier partnerships that protect sustainable livelihoods, to our caring workplace culture that celebrates differences, to our local community engagement that nurtures inclusive, thriving societies. Our engagement is anchored in our CARE BEYOND SKIN Sustainability Agenda.

In line with our vision of an “Inclusive Society”, we focus on people affected by social inequality and exclusion. We support locally relevant initiatives – beyond our own value chain – that promote the well-being, sense of belonging and participation of all members of society, thus making an important contribution to social cohesion.

WOMEN IN CIRCULARITY

Beiersdorf has initiated a program that supports four recycling organizations in Argentina, Ghana, India and Kenya through a donation of €4 million. Those countries have been severely impacted by the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in a major setback for female empowerment and exacerbated inequalities and threatening conditions. These organizations will be able to offer income and development opportunities for more than 1,600 women within the waste management sector, which will have a direct positive impact for their families and communities.
