Beaulieu Fibres has identified impact domains, including recyclable, high performance, renewable, bio-circular, co-developed and made in Europe fibres, to find out what matters most to customers in terms of sustainability targets, green initiatives and sustainability expectations.

Our roadmap to 2030

International Sustainability and Carbon Certification Plus (ISCC Plus)

Beaulieu Fibres International will offer ISCC Plus certified bio circular MONO-PP and BICO PP/PE fibres in 1,3-8,9 dtex, available with all the main available finish classes. These drop-in solutions, with no loss in quality, will support customers reduce reliance on virgin fossil carbon in their nonwoven and engineered fibre applications, contributing to the transition towards a circular economy.
The ISCC Plus Certification Program enables traceable supply chains for mass-balanced solutions of sustainable raw materials.

Our three certified production sites will replace fossil resources with bio-circular ones as a path forward to becoming carbon neutral by 2030.

Renewable energy and increasing efficiency

Belgian Beaulieu Fibres International production sites have transitioned from grey to predominantly green electricity as of July 2021. This shift to renewable energy has a significant impact on our facility's carbon footprint.
Each Beaulieu Fibres plant commits to monitoring and analysing its energy in order to optimise processes and reduce energy consumption.

• Energy-intensive branches of industrial companies can join the Flemish government's voluntary energy policy agreements (EBOs - Energiebeleidsovereenkomst), which aim at continuously improving energy efficiency.
• Beaulieu Fibres’ Terni plant also performs periodic energy audits in order to detect new opportunities for energy reduction and to implement new programs. These audits have already led to successful actions.

Operation Clean Sweep

The Belgian plants of Beaulieu Fibres International have signed the pledge of Operation Clean Sweep (OCS), aimed at preventing plastic granulate pollution into our marine environments. 

Urban Re-Generation

In 2019, Beaulieu Fibres International Terni (Italy), joined Urban Re-Generation, driven by the Umbria Industry Association. Along with 8 multinational companies in the area, the goal is to create the 1st Sustainability District in Italy, sharing best practices on sustainability, circular economy, and energy savings.

Planting trees with impact

In 2024, Beaulieu Fibres entered the Agroforestry project in Madagascar. There, social enterprise Bôndy and Go Forest, focus on planting trees in an agroforestry system, combining the cultivation of trees with crops or livestock on the same piece of land, with all planted trees providing (rapid) economic benefits to local farmers.

Ocean-saving bottles

Beaulieu Fibres has implemented sustainable alternatives for single-use water bottles. We now use new drinking water tap systems and we stimulate our employees to use a reusable bottle. Refillable bottles aim to reduce plastic pollution and provide clean drinking water where people need it most.

Sustainability @ Home

In 2021, we will continue to focus on sustainability. Our business goals are linked to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). With our dedicated action Sustainability @ Home we want to make all colleagues aware of their possible contribution to a better planet, because every small change in behaviour can mean a lot.
Join our warm call for our planet.
Let us motivate each other and take up this challenge with our Fibres team!
