Hamburg: The international non-profit organization CDP has recognized the sustainability efforts of Beiersdorf AG, the company that makes Nivea among other skin care products. The German multinational has been recognized for its leadership in setting targets, performance and transparency in the areas of climate change, forests and water security and has earned a spot on CDP’s prestigious “A-list” for all three dimensions.

“We have made great efforts worldwide in recent years to advance the transformation of our business. CDP’s Triple-A rating recognizes our efforts to become a leader in environmental sustainability in our industry, not only in terms of ambition, but also in terms of action and transparency,” said Vincent Warnery, CEO of Beiersdorf.

Since 2018 we have made great progress. Despite the company’s growth, we were able to reduce emissions in all areas by 12.7%,” says Jean-François Pascal, Vice President Corporate Sustainability at Beiersdorf.
