(K-daily 뉴스)

Belkin, a leading consumer electronics brand for 40 years, today published its 2024 Impact Report, announcing its milestone achievement of carbon neutrality in scope 1 and scope 2 emissions, and underscoring its commitment to sustainability and corporate responsibility. With bold progress in carbon reduction and sustainable product design, Belkin remains steadfast in its commitment to finding more responsible ways to build products that enhance lives while preserving the planet for future generations.

“Belkin recently surpassed a monumental milestone: over 1 billion products sold globally. As we reflect on this achievement, we recognize that with scale comes a profound responsibility - to our customers, to the planet, and to future generations,” said Steven Malony, CEO of Belkin. “As we reflect on our 2024 Impact Report, we recognize the progress we’ve made and the work still ahead. We are actively transitioning to post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials across our product lines, using 100% plastic-free packaging, and investing in long-term sustainability strategies to achieve our larger goals of carbon neutrality across our entire business by 2030. Our mission goes beyond creating accessories that empower people to get more life out of every single day - it’s about driving positive change for the planet and its people.”

In the last 12 months, on its journey to carbon neutrality in all scopes by 2030 and in line with its commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, Belkin has achieved:

Climate action (UN Goal 13)

· Carbon neutrality in direct and purchased emissions (Scopes 1 and 2 emissions)
· 1,890 metric tons of CO2e reduced on product level (Scope 3 emissions)

Responsible consumption and production (UN Goal 12)

· 89% reduction in single use plastic packaging (surpassing our 25% reduction goal by 2025)
· 210 metric tons of virgin plastics replaced from 8.8M PCR products sold
· 2,183 metric tons cumulative plastic savings since 2019 (this is the equivalent of 114M water bottles saved)
· Funding the responsible recycling of:
- 28445 metric tons of electrical and electronic devices
- 11463 metric tons of packaging
- 1358 metric tons of batteries

Made with recycled materials

Two years since introducing its transition to using 72-75% post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials in its products, Belkin has transitioned over 359 products and has replaced 432 metric tons of virgin plastics with PCR materials. This year, several of Belkin’s most popular chargers and cables will receive updated product housing materials that consist of 85-90% PCR and will be certified by the Global Recycling Standard and sold in plastic-free packaging. This initiative is estimated to reduce CO2-eq emissions for these product housing materials by up to 85%.

Award-winning initiatives

Belkin is proud to announce an important achievement in its sustainability journey: receiving a Silver Medal rating from EcoVadis, the globally recognized leader in sustainability ratings. This recognition reflects the company’s ongoing dedication to responsible business practices and positions Belkin among the top-performing companies in the consumer electronics sector evaluated by EcoVadis.

Shaping a more responsible future

Looking ahead, Belkin remains dedicated to achieving carbon neutrality in all scopes by 2030 and continuously refining its strategy to build products more responsibly. The company is actively investing in circular design principles and exploring innovative ways to further reduce environmental impact without compromising performance or quality.
