| Partner Profile For over 25 years Becker Underwood has created and produced specialty bio-agronomic and colorant products with a broad range of applications. We have sales and manufacturing facilities in North and South America, Europe, and Australia. Becker Underwood wants to be a leader in the area of Sustainability and is fully supported by our executive management team and Board of Directors. As part of this effort, Becker Underwood purchases 100 percent third-party certified renewable wind energy for the entire company's electricity footprint. As our CEO, Dr. Peter Innes, says, ""Becker Underwood is committed to Sustainability both in the products we sell and our actions inside and outside the company. Purchasing 100 percent renewable energy is an important step for Becker Underwood in becoming a positive contributor towards the environment and society while continuing to grow our company in a sustainable manner." Becker Underwood's employees have been very supportive of our decision to purchase green power, and we look forward to communicating our efforts through a new sustainability webpage currently under development. Having recently made the decision to purchase green power, our message to others would be: Just do it! If you want to continue to grow in a sustainable manner over the next 20-50 years, investments and commitments like this will need to be made. The cost is not as high as one would initially think. | |
