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

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 EPP standards) to new products and product changes to ensure meaningful and sustainable product improvements across the life cycle

Publish BD minimum environmental standards for products by end of FY 2022
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.
