Industrials

Industrial manufacturing companies today face cost volatility, uneven global demand, energy challenges, accelerating automation and digitalization, and rising customer expectations for low-carbon products.

Manufacturers are also under growing pressure from climate-related regulations, carbon pricing, and physical climate risks, pushing them to decarbonize operations, improve resource efficiency, and invest in cleaner technologies while maintaining competitiveness.

Industrial companies that sustainably source raw materials, cut emissions, and protect the human rights of workers and communities are better able to build climate resilience, achieve their commercial goals, and deliver lasting value to their stakeholders.

BSR works with leading companies in the industrial sector, including heavy equipment and light manufacturing, building materials, and chemicals, to assess, manage, and enhance their sustainability performance across the entire value chain, while developing innovative products that deliver business value.
