A fun-filled off-site activation shows team spirit in rude health at Beckers Poland. Team spirit at Beckers Poland got an extra boost at the start of June, when around 70 employees took a trip together for a one-day activation event. As well as bringing the team together, such events have been shown to help improve collaboration and overall mental and physical wellbeing. It all took place at a beautiful location near a forest and a lake, about 40 km from our Tarnow site. Activities included climbing, a zip-line experience, go-karts, table tennis, archery and kayaking, finishing up with a disco and a riotous karaoke session. As well as being a lot of fun, such actions are part of a global mental health awareness drive at Beckers to which the local leadership team have added their own twist. Here are a few pics from the day. #beckersgroup #teambuilding #beckerspoland #peoplewithimpact #pioneeringperformance #positiveimpact

Coil coating boiled down to the essence: For all those who wanted know - or know how to explain in a few words - what coil coating is about. European Coil Coating Association - ECCA summed it up.

We are excited to announce a strategic change of our regions and leadership, a move designed to bolster the ambitions of our Green Lights Strategy. This change underscores our commitment to both continuity and evolution.   - Eric FOUISSAC is appointed as President for Asia & Middle East (AME), succeeding Paul Menezes. - Pia Götze becomes President of the new Europe & Africa region. - Jared Ireland steps up as Senior Vice President for the newly formed Americas region.   This restructuring reflects Beckers’ commitment to global growth and operational excellence, while also highlighting our belief in the power of continuity. Each of these leaders has been with Beckers for a while, demonstrating our trust in their ability to carry forward our culture while driving change and innovation. https://lnkd.in/d_TdeA6E #beckersgroup #pioneeringperformance #positiveimpact #leadership #management

Mental health starts at the top Attitudes and actions of leadership can significantly influence the mental health environment within the organization. Managers who take the lead on destigmatizing mental health issues can transform their organizational culture. Beckers Turkey hosted a strategy session that focused on the mental health training for our managers. The day was filled with insightful sessions and engaging activities. The highlight of the day was a special session led by a master instructor of the Buteyko Breathing Method and Oxygen Advantage. Accompanied by the soothing sounds of nature, she conducted a breathing therapy session for all participants. She showcased how we can reduce stress in our lives through correct breathing techniques. She also emphasized the positive impact that effective breathing can have not only in our professional lives but also in our personal lives. We believe in raising the standard of care for our world, and this starts with taking care of our own people. #beckersgroup #mentalhealth #pioneeringperformance #positiveimpact

Beckers' Commitment to Sustainability: A Net Zero Future We are thrilled to announce that Beckers has become the first coil coatings company to commit to net-zero emissions by 2050, aligning with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). We have already made significant progress by reducing our absolute CO2e emissions in our own operations (scope 1 and 2) by 51% between 2013 and 2023. But we know that true success requires collective action. More than 98% of our emissions result from our customers and suppliers (scope 3), which is why we must collaborate with our entire value chain. Join us in celebrating this milestone and stay tuned for more updates as we continue to transition into a business with a lower climate impact and transform how we collaborate with value chain partners.   Learn more about our commitment and the SBTi: https://lnkd.in/dzdsCtFK #beckersGroup #pioneeringperformance #positiveimpact #leadership #coatingsindustry #sbti

Beckers France celebrated earlier in June the successful conclusion of a four-year refurbishment and extension project at the world-wide largest Beckers site, located in Montbrison, France. This ambitious, multi-phase construction project was designed to improve working conditions and ensure compliance with the most stringent environmental and safety standards. The result is a modern, spacious, bright and secure working environment that empowers operational efficiency and supports our sustainable innovation program. As well as functional and aesthetic improvements, the buildings now demonstrate high levels of energy efficiency. The team in France celebrated this milestone with a ceremony on 10 June, officially unveiling our state-of-the-art facilities. #BeckersGroup #pioneeringperformance #positiveimpact #coatingsindustry #BeckersFrance

We say that using precoated steel for production of home appliances is more sustainable solution than post-painting, but why is it actually? It is due to coil coating process itself, which is the most efficient way of coating steel. It uses less intensive pre-treatment, and less paint and energy per square meter of painted material. Consequently, pre-painted steel has a lower environmental impact than post-painted steel in every aspect. The LCA study offered by ECCA (European Coil Coating Association) gives good insight into it.

Beckers US team marked this year’s World Environment Day at the start of June by taking positive action in and around our Chicago and Fontana sites. In Chicago, gardening was the order of the day, where the team planted flowers to promote pollination for bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. As well as supporting biodiversity, outdoor collaborative activities like gardening are strongly associated with positive mental health and team spirit. Meanwhile, in Fontana, Beckers colleagues went out collecting trash to help instil pride in the neighborhood. Such grassroots actions are vital – not just for local wildlife but for cultivating an environment that supports mental and physical wellbeing. It’s another example of how at Beckers we try to work together to raise the standard of care for our world. World Environment Day is the biggest international day for the environment, celebrated by millions of people across the world. Led by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and held annually since 1973, it has grown to be the largest global platform for environmental outreach. #BeckersUS #Environmentday #beckersgroup
