Sustainable procurement and expectations for suppliers

BD strongly believes that modern social and environmental challenges the world faces are opportunities to make a difference while strengthening our company. The BD sustainability strategy has evolved to incorporate our role in addressing the wide range of challenges facing our industry, society and planet.

BD remains focused on creating shared value; more specifically, addressing unmet societal needs through business models and initiatives that also contribute to the commercial success of BD.
