Sustainability at BD

BD is committed to our corporate purpose of “Helping all people live healthy lives.” We want to become the organization best known for eliminating unnecessary suffering and death from disease and, in so doing, become one of the best performing companies in the world.

Our commitment to helping to provide affordable, accessible medical technologies that help address fundamental healthcare needs has been embedded in our culture since BD's founding in 1897. Today, we also recognize the importance of strong environmental performance, and have a clear strategy to reduce our environmental footprint and help our customers reduce theirs. Our aspiration is to be recognized as the most environmentally responsible company in our industry.
