BIC
Improve recycled waste share and advance SBTi commitment to validated targets
BIC boasts 100% public environmental data completeness across manufacturing hubs. To strengthen its profile, BIC should focus on improving its recycled waste share (currently 66.5% vs. the 70.7% Consumer Staples sector average) as an environmental scoring contributor, while converting its active SBTi commitment into formally validated science-based targets to lift Governance availability from 66% to 100%.
