Sustainability
Our purpose ‘shaping sustainable living, together.’ says it all: sustainability is embedded in our DNA. We aim to lead by example, by reducing our footprint, caring for people and communities, and doing business transparently with like-minded partners.
Together with the partners, we co-create smart, sustainable solutions that make a real difference. By replacing virgin materials with bio-based, circular and low-carbon alternatives. By designing smart, durable products that enhance well-being and are easy to repair, reuse or recycle. And by enabling full recyclability and take-back systems across our portfolio.
We shape sustainable living, together.

Route 2030: Our roadmap to a sustainable future
Since 2021, we’ve been reshaping our business with a clear sustainability strategy — one that reflects the spirit of B.I.G., defines our priorities, and turns ambition into action.
We translated that vision into Route 2030, a company-wide roadmap with five strategic routes that guide us toward a more sustainable future.
When shaping our Route 2030 sustainability strategy, we took inspiration from the Sustainable Development Goals developed by the UN (UN SDGs), as one of the world’s leading ESG frameworks.
Route 1
We take responsibility for the environmental impact of our operations
Route 2
We value our employees and the people around us
Route 3
We work towards a circular economy with the whole value chain in mind
Route 4
We take responsibility for our climate impact
Route 5
We act with integrity and value

In seeking solutions we have to take account not just of the economic aspect but also of the ecological and sociological aspects.
In order to reduce our dependence on exhaustible raw materials, it’s important to be on the same page as customers who have the same ambitions and attach the same value to sustainability.
We need to reshape to become an industry leader. This means leading by example, changing the way we think and look outside the box.
Plastic does not have a good reputation. We need to make a shift towards recycled and circular plastics to meet upcoming norms and customers’ expectations.
We contribute to Route 2030 by improving health, safety, working conditions and the skills & knowledge of our employees.
One of our actions for a more sustainable future is the
offer of free-of-charge take-back and recycling programs.
We used to pump 20 million liters of water every year. Today that is already 25% less.
We are doing a lot to engage and inspire our employees and their families to encourage a sustainable way of living.
We are trying to ensure our materials contain 25% recycled content and we hope to bring that to 50% in the near future.
The use of renewable energy sources benefits B.I.G. because it makes us less dependent on the energy market.
Each and every one of us will participate in reshaping our business, by rethinking, designing, implementing or supporting more sustainable solutions.
