year Overview
At Beiersdorf, we are committed to ensuring competitive and sustainable growth. We are 
strengthening our position globally by systematically investing in the expansion and op-
timization of our supply chain capacities and capabilities. All of these efforts are carried 
out with a clear commitment to sustainability in each region. 
As part of our C.A.R.E.+ strategy, we are focusing even more on local consumer needs. 
Our 14 production centers are located in the Europe, Americas, Near East (incl. Africa), 
and Asia-Pacific regions. They manufacture mainly for their local and regional markets, 
focusing on processing and filling activities. The production network is complemented 
by selected third-party manufacturers (3PMs). Prime materials are sourced directly from 
our suppliers. To meet the needs of our consumers and run an increasingly agile supply 
chain, we perform ongoing supply network analyses and continuously update our supply 
network. Our production sites and 3PMs deliver goods through a network of warehouses 
and distribution centers to our customers. Most warehousing and transportation services 
are externally purchased; only two warehouses are owned and operated by Beiersdorf. 
Last minute differentiation (co-packing) is mainly integrated in warehouse operations.
The material sourcing footprint reflects the needs of innovation and the product assort-
ment, on the one hand, and the changes in the production center network, on the other. 
Recycled materials, natural ingredients, and the new production site in Leipzig require 
changes in our material sourcing. Our efforts targeting resilience improvement and 
supply risk management to assure business continuity form part of a continuous journey 
for enhancing our material supply. 
In 2022, the most prominent changes within the Beiersdorf supply chain were related to 
the continuous efforts to update our production network.

We are currently investing in expansion and modernization projects at our sites in 
Germany, Indonesia, Poland, Mexico, and Spain. For all these projects, the improvement 
of sustainability aspects plays a major role. The construction of a new greenfield site in 
Leipzig and many smaller investments in new equipment and capabilities also fall into 
this investment category. In 2022, we completed the modernization of our plants in  
Malang, Indonesia, and Tres Cantos, Spain.

Role of the highest  
governance body in  
overseeing the  
management of impacts
Beiersdorf’s global sustainability commitments are directly managed by the member of 
the Executive Board responsible for Sustainability. At the same time, the entire Executive 
Board jointly plays an instrumental role in the review, monitoring, and further develop-
ment of the sustainability strategy and its targets. The Executive Board plays an active 
role in monitoring and moving sustainability topics, as the achievement of our sustainabi-
lity targets is tied to board remuneration.
In 2019, the Executive Board approved Beiersdorf’s 2025 sustainability agenda “for 
a climate-caring future“ as one of the seven focus areas. In 2019, Beiersdorf has 
strengthened its climate commitment by signing the UN 1.5-degree Business Pledge.
2-13
Delegation of  
responsibility for  
managing impacts
To streamline the workstreams at Beiersdorf and to promote cross-functional target 
achievability for sustainability, a sustainability council has been created. The cross-
functional committee is comprised of members at Executive Board, Executive 
Committee, and Vice President level. It gathers key functions involved in achieving 
Beiersdorf’s climate targets, including Supply Chain, Research & Development, Pro-
curement, Marketing, subsidiary companies, and Corporate Sustainability. As chair of 
the Sustainability Council, the C suite member responsible for sustainability is regularly 
updated with progress reports regarding the achievement of the company‘s sustainabi-
lity targets.

Processes to remediate 
negative impacts
In order to prevent critical situations from the outset, all employees are required to 
agree to our internal Code of Conduct for employees, as well as to complete regular 
compliance trainings. This ensures that everyone adheres to local and internal legisla-
tion. Also, regular risk analysis, internal audits, and compliance reports determine the 
status of our compliance management system and allow Beiersdorf to identify possible 
wrong behavior. Beiersdorf is committed to respond rapidly to any systematic or material 
compliance and other breaches – whether these were intentional or not. Through various 
whistleblowing channels, all employees as well as customers, consumers, suppliers 
and their employees, and other stakeholders have the opportunity to report potential 
incidents. Further, all employees can use the internal compliance hotline to contact the 
respective Corporate Compliance Management team or their local compliance officer at 
any time. Deliberate violations of the guidelines will have employment law consequen-
ces, in line with the applicable provisions. Additionally, breaches of the law can result in 
criminal and civil proceedings.

Financial implications and

The impact of climate change and the effort to combat this pose similar risks and 
offer similar opportunities to Beiersdorf as they do to the entire skincare industry. 
Risks include climate-induced resource scarcity for renewable feedstocks caused by 
natural disasters affecting our supply chain, as well as regulatory risks such as emer-
ging regulations on carbon pricing that could impact our cost base. The opportunities 
are mainly related to new or increased consumer demands. We are addressing these 
opportunities and risks as part of our C.A.R.E.+ strategy within our roadmaps towards 
circular resources and climate-positive operations, as well as through our group-wide 
risk management process.

Operations assessed for 
risks related to corruption
“Compliance Risk Assessments“ (CRAs) are carried out regularly as a key element of our 
Compliance Management System. The assessment of compliance risks is fundamental to 
developing an adequate compliance program. 
Although the Beiersdorf business model is not considered to be prone to corruption, 
corruption-related risks were identified, mainly relating to setting up new businesses, 
gifts and invitations to/from business partners, and contact with public officials.

of contractual agreements with business partners and includes specific anti-corruption 
requirements.
Anti-corruption policies and procedures as part of the “Beiersdorf Corruption Prevention 
Program” have been communicated comprehensively to governance-body members 
worldwide.
Our employees worldwide have been fully informed about anti-corruption policies and

Beiersdorf stands for reliable brands with high quality standards. Acting responsibly 
is an inherent part of our corporate culture and the basis of the trust that customers, 
consumers, and stakeholders bestow upon us. We understand this to include full 
compliance with applicable tax laws and regulations. Beiersdorf considers itself to be a 
responsible taxpayer. All activities must comply with our corporate Code of Conduct, the 
Core Principles of Beiersdorf Finance, and the applicable (tax) laws and regulations in all 
markets and jurisdictions in which we operate. This applies to all corporate entities of the 
Beiersdorf AG Group.
We follow these principles while developing our business successfully, ensuring com-
petitive growth, and increasing shareholder value. Due to the high complexity, taxes 
involve various risks. Beiersdorf has implemented internal control systems to identify and 
manage these tax risks.
Website: Our Core Values I Compliance Principles I Code of Conduct
207-1
Approach to tax
The trust of consumers and employees, our business partners as well as our stakeholders 
is the basis of our success. Compliance is an indispensable foundation for this trust and 
our basis for sustainable growth.
We comply with all applicable tax laws and regulations in all markets and jurisdictions 
in which we operate. This includes our commitment to paying a fair amount of tax and 
disclosing all relevant facts and circumstances to the tax authorities. Further, Beiersdorf 
seeks to comply with the letter and spirit of the law. Overall, we have a low risk appetite 
and a low tolerance towards tax risks. We do not undertake tax planning designed to ar-
tificially shift profits away from the underlying business activity. In line with this approach, 
we do not make use of tax havens or secrecy jurisdictions to avoid taxes.
Beiersdorf has implemented a Tax Compliance Management System based on our 
Group-wide Compliance Management System (see NFS: Compliance). Furthermore, our 
Code of Conduct for Business Partners defines that all business partners must comply 
with applicable tax laws and must not participate in artificial business practices or trans-
actions that have been established purely for tax-evasion purpose. All these principles 
are embedded in our tax strategy. Various guidelines and frameworks ensure the uniform 
understanding and implementation throughout the whole affiliated group. In jurisdic-
tions where Beiersdorf is already required to publish its tax strategy, the strategy is 
already publicly available (e.g. in the UK). The tax strategy is part of the overall business 
strategy and lies with the Executive Board.
207-2
Tax governance, control, 
and risk management
The Executive Board of Beiersdorf AG is responsible for ensuring appropriate tax gover-
nance throughout the Beiersdorf Group. The Executive Board is advised and supervised 
by the Finance Committee, which monitors corporate policy regarding tax and other 
finance areas.
The appropriateness of and compliance with the tax governance and control framework 
are evaluated regularly by the Global Head of Tax and Customs, as well as by Corporate 
Auditing together with the Executive Board. Corporate Governance is a top priority at 
Beiersdorf and shapes the attitude we take in arranging our tax affairs. Close coopera-
tion between local entities of the Beiersdorf AG Group and headquarters, as well as the 
local entities of the ultimate parent company maxingvest AG, open corporate communi-
cation, proper accounting and auditing, and responsible risk management form the basis 
of the company’s tax procedures.
We consider the governance of our tax affairs to be an ongoing and evolving process 
which we continue to track carefully in order to adapt to future developments. Risk man­
agement is an integral part of central and local procedures. Our tax risk management 
and control processes conform to consistent standards across the Group to identify tax 
risks and capture those risks in a structured manner. In addition to corporate reporting 
processes (see AR: Risk Report and NFS: Compliance), we operate a Tax and Customs 
Compliance Reporting process to monitor compliance with tax laws and regulations of 
all companies of the Beiersdorf Group. Integrity is a fundamental part of our corporate 
culture and business procedures. We ensure tax integrity by promoting clear guidance 
and open communication. For the reporting of any suspicion of non-compliance with tax 
regulations, we actively maintain various internal and external reporting mechanisms and 
channels, including the incident reporting platform “Speak up. We care.” Taxes are part 
of the annual statutory audit of financial statements.
Website: Platform “Speak up. We care.”
207-3
Stakeholder engagement 
and management of con-
cerns related to tax
Key elements of tax compliance are transparency and appropriate documentation. We 
communicate openly and trustfully with our stakeholders, especially with all required 
statutory authorities. We maintain a professional and transparent relationship with all 
statutory authorities and submit information freely to them in the spirit of cooperative 
compliance.
We monitor legislative developments in the countries where we are active to react appro-
priately to them as well as to prevailing discussions of various stakeholders relevant for 
the tax topic. Beiersdorf actively participates in tax committees of respective institutions 
that aim for reflection of business needs along with the payment of fair shares of tax.

Country-by-country 
reporting
In compliance with the OECD BEPS Actions, and in line with the existing EU Directive 
(2016/881) and German tax law, Beiersdorf’s ultimate parent company maxingvest AG 
prepares a Country-by-Country report (CbCR) and provides it to the German tax au­
thorities. Due to tax confidentiality, Beiersdorf does not publish this CbCR. The necessa-
ry transparency is ensured with the tax authorities, which can assess the figures and data. 
The CbCR is internally available for all countries where the tax authorities have agreed to 
the standards developed by the OECD and is distributed to participating tax authorities 
worldwide via bilateral or multilateral agreements.

tions to renewable sources, reducing Scope 2 market-based emissions as well as  
Scope 3 third-party-manufacturing and third-party warehousing emissions. Biofuel 
certificates are sourced on a mass balance approach for shipping emissions in Scope 3 
upstream transport.

Waste-related actions and measures are managed by the Environmental Sustainability 
management team and the SIM (Sustainability in Manufacturing) project team. They 
monitor data on waste at least quarterly and steer actions and measures in this context 
accordingly.

Waste generation and 
significant waste-related 
impacts
Our 14 manufacturing sites produce skin care products. The main waste streams that 
are generated in the manufacturing processes are non-hazardous waste such as scrap 
from filling lines, sludge from WWTP (Wastewater Treatment Plants), unpacked products 
or packaging materials such as plastic foil or cardboard. One reason for this is that our 
skin care products do not contain hazardous ingredients that could have a significant 
negative impact on the environment (e.g. toxic substances). We follow the waste hierar-
chy by avoiding waste as much as possible. Waste that cannot be avoided is recycled as 
far as possible or incinerated with energy recovery. Our ZWTL (Zero Waste To Landfill) 
target does not allow the landfilling of waste (construction waste, such as rockwool, is ex­
cluded). Our Procurement and Logistics departments work closely and continually with 
our suppliers to minimize transportation packaging and raw material packaging as far 
as possible, e.g., by using returnable or reusable packaging. In our SIM (Sustainability in 
Manufacturing) projects, we are continuously working on our corporate waste reduction 
target and the improvement of waste disposal methods in accordance with the waste 
hierarchy. All these activities are part of our environmental sustainability initiatives with 
the aim of avoiding significant and potential waste-related impacts. Internal standards 
such as SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) that define minimum requirements for 
waste management support these activities.

measures are managed by the Environmental Sustainability management team and the 
SIM (Sustainability in Manufacturing) project team. They monitor data on waste at least

Hazard identification, risk 
assessment, and incident 
investigation
Globally, Beiersdorf has set overall requirements for identifying hazards for every activi-
ty, including non-routine and emergency ones. Each site is responsible for conducting 
its own risk assessments. Beiersdorf empowers every employee to take action when 
identifying an unsafe condition or at-risk behavior, and also provides clear guidance on 
how to avoid hazardous situations and resolve them immediately.
Every major accident, high-risk or critical incident within Beiersdorf is reported and 
fully analyzed by a multifunctional team until the root cause and/or contributing factors 
have been identified and actions can be taken to improve and eliminate any chance of 
recurrence.
The quality of the processes is ensured through the development of SHE (Safety Health 
Environment) managers enabling them to perform risk assessment and train other 
employees. These processes are audited by third parties and discussed internally in the 
safety reviews.
The Code of Conduct and Safety Policy empower every employee to take action, remove 
themselves from hazardous work situations and report without any fear of con­sequences. 
Employees are also invited to use a system to report the cases via a software with an 
option to make an anonymous report if necessary. The management of health and safety 
at Beiersdorf determines the minimum expectations, and sites are able to build on these 
requirements.

At Beiersdorf, we encourage the active participation of every employee by not only 
reporting risk behaviors or conditions but also providing input to the overall manage-
ment system and continuous improvement cycle. Based on their local requirements, our 
production centers establish different councils; one of their objectives is to represent 
employees’ needs regarding health and safety and to support Beiersdorf in continuously 
promoting a healthier and safer workplace.
As an organization, we not only encourage the involvement of committees but of every 
employee who can positively contribute to our ongoing health and safety journey. The 
active contribution comes from reporting of unsafe conditions, hazards, and even at-risk 
behaviors.

Worker training on

The system covers all of our factories. In 2022, it covered 4,954 direct Beiersdorf 
employees and an additional 1,401 supervised contractor workers.
In 2022, we did not conduct any internal audits on those sites, as a majority of them have 
been audited by external third parties. 11 sites received an external third party audit, 
covering a total of 5,057 employees and supervised workers.

Work-related injuries
Beiersdorf calculates its Accident Frequency Rate based on 1,000,000 hours worked.  
The accidents included in the calculation are Lost Time Accidents (> 1 day) involving any 
Beiersdorf employee or contractor-supervised worker. Non-directly supervised contrac-
tors’ workers are excluded from this calculation, but those are reported and analyzed in 
the same way as the cases mentioned above.
High-consequence injuries are those that result in a fatality or an irreversible injury (such 
as severed limbs) or have the potential to become one of either. There was one high-
consequence injury at one of our Beiersdorf production centers in 2022.

Programs for upgrading 
employee skills and 
transition assistance 
programs
At Beiersdorf, we see ourselves as a learning organization. This means that continuous 
learning and development is embedded in the culture and practices of the entire organi-
zation. This approach emphasizes learning as a continuous process that is not restricted 
to formal training programs but also includes informal learning opportunities. As a result, 
we try to create individual learning experiences – learning at any time and any place in 
the flow of work – in order to support our employees in continuous development but also 
to grow as a company.
In 2022, existing content of the “COMPASS Learning” online learning platform, which 
was established in 2019, was updated and expanded. Besides, we added new ­e-­learning 
programs, such as on the topic of sustainability, to the platform. The majority of these 
offerings, which are tailored to Beiersdorf’s needs, are mainly developed by our 
­specialist academies in the areas of Sales, Finance, Procurement, R&D, HR, Quality, and 
Planning. Due to the still noticeable impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, we also made 
greater use of a virtual classroom this year. This online tool made it possible to imple-
ment numerous workshops and training courses in an interactive manner and for all 
employees world­wide. Our virtual learning offering from “Linkedln Learning”, where 
employees world­wide can choose from over 15,000 online training courses and more 
than 500,000 videos in various languages, was well used this year. In order to make it 
easier for the learner to choose between the large number of courses, we rely on curated 
learning paths on various current topics such as “Working in virtual and hybrid teams,” 
digitalization, diversity & inclusion, or resilience. Furthermore, we are establishing a 
global learning ecosystem that includes a modern learning infrastructure and tools for 
creating learning content for learners. It is tailored to the needs of individualized and 
skill-based learning. A pilot project was successfully launched this year, and initial roll-
out is planned for early 2023, with more to follow.
