Belden’s 2024 Sustainability Report Details Significant Achievement Toward Goals
St. Louis, Missouri – May 22, 2025 – Belden Inc. (NYSE: BDC), a leading global provider of complete connection solutions, is proud to release its 2024 Sustainability Report: At the Intersection of Technology and Sustainability. The report highlights the company’s significant strides toward meeting its environmental, social and governance goals.
Belden first defined its sustainability goals in 2021, setting 12 clear objectives to be achieved by the end of 2025. This year’s report details the company’s progress in key areas over the last 12 months, including these milestones:
- Belden has far exceeded its goal of reducing its Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 25% from 2019 levels by the end of 2025. At the end of 2024, Belden had reduced its Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 41.1%. This success is driven by the execution of hundreds of sustainability projects at locations across the globe by employees who find innovative ways to weave sustainability into operations, as well as the implementation of power purchase agreements. To continue forward progress, Belden has set a new goal: to reduce emissions by 70% by 2030.
- Sustainable packaging goals have officially been achieved, with 95% of Belden packaging now made from renewable or recyclable materials.
- Belden is certified as a Great Place to Work® in 18 countries, demonstrating the company’s ongoing commitment to creating a positive culture and leading with transparent and ethical practices.
- The company has launched three Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) to support its people and their personal and professional development. These ERGs include Women’s Inspiration Network, which empowers and supports female employees; the Rising Professionals Network, which invests in young talent; and Achieving Better Lives for Everyone, which supports employees with different abilities.
- 60% of employees participate in Belden’s Be Well program, which promotes physical, financial, social and emotional wellness.
In addition to these accomplishments, the 2024 report also features new data on Scope 3 emissions, capturing indirect environmental impacts across Belden’s supply chain.
“Doing what’s right for the environment, our employees and our communities is also good for business,” says Senior Vice President of Legal, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary Brian Anderson, who leads Belden’s sustainability program. “None of this would be possible without the dedication and passion of our employees. Thanks to their efforts, our goals are within reach. As we meet and surpass these goals, we’re excited to establish new priorities that will build on the successes of objectives already achieved.”
While Belden has always prioritized ethical and responsible operations, establishing a formal sustainability program allows the company to prioritize making a more substantial positive impact on the environment, employees, customers and communities.
