Across environmental, social and governance pillars, Belden
continues to make strides toward accomplishing its 2025
goals
Belden Inc. (NYSE: BDC), a leading global supplier of network
infrastructure and digitization solutions, recently released its
annual ESG report, highlighting the company’s key environmental,
social and governance (ESG) initiatives and accomplishments.
This newly published annual report showcases Belden’s ESG
investments and its team’s drive to meet and exceed ESG goals.
Detailing 12 clearly defined objectives to be accomplished by 2025,
Belden reports on its momentum toward meeting these measures. As
goals are met early, they are expanded upon. The report also
highlights other initiatives that have a positive impact on the
environment, employees and local communities.
The newly published report emphasizes Belden’s focus on and
commitment to minimizing its environmental impact, from investing
in green energy and minimizing waste to conserving water. A
critical component of the company’s environmental strategy is to
reduce greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions. Belden has prioritized more
than 200 emission-reduction projects across the world. Already, the
organization has seen impactful reductions due to these initiatives
and has further expanded its goal for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions
substantially this year.
Other key initiatives are also covered in the report, such as
the company’s wellness program, volunteer initiatives, an enhanced
DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) strategy, a robust data
security program and efforts to ensure responsible sourcing
throughout the supply chain.
Additionally, recognition earned by Belden and its employees
throughout the year are highlighted in the report, including:
- Board of Director Diane Brink being honored by the National
Association of Corporate Directors (NACD)
- Teams in Suzhou, China, and Pune, India, being recognized at
the ESG Business Awards for their use of green energy and
implementation of recycling projects
- The company being recognized and certified as a Great Place to
Work® in 17 countries
“We are proud to release our annual ESG report and share the
work we have accomplished over the past year,” says Senior Vice
President of Legal, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary and
Leader of Belden’s ESG program Brian Anderson. “Continuous
improvement in ESG is incredibly important and part of our business
strategy. I am inspired by the teams I work with on these
initiatives; their passion and innovation are evident in everything
they do. It is exciting to see our ESG program build momentum, and
I know we are just getting started.”
Belden announced its ESG program in 2022, along with clear goals
to be accomplished by 2025. While Belden has always prioritized
ethical and responsible operations, establishing a formal ESG
program allows it to intentionally prioritize positive impacts on
the environment, employees, customers and communities in which it
operates.
