Innovating for the planet : BGene, a company with a mission serving the ecological transition since 2023
At BGene, we believe that science and innovation can be drivers of positive change for our planet. That's why we have chosen to become a Purpose-Driven Company, an approach that anchors our commitment to the ecological transition at the very heart of our corporate statutes.
What is a purpose-driven company?
It is a company that goes beyond the mere pursuit of profit. It integrates environmental objectives into its mission, thus committing to concrete action for the common good. For BGene, this means putting our expertise at the service of developing sustainable solutions for the cosmetics industry.
Our purpose : serving the ecological transition
We have a clear mission :
"To serve the ecological transition by developing the production methods of tomorrow, more sustainable and environmentally friendly for bio-based molecules."
Concretely, this translates into :
- Limiting our impact on natural resources : we favor short circuits, rethink the life cycle of our ingredients and processes, and promote a circular economy.
- Guaranteeing more environmentally friendly processes: we strive to reduce our carbon footprint, eliminate toxic products, and minimize the use of natural resources in our activities.
- Transmitting and sharing our values : we believe in the importance of education and collaboration. That's why we train students, share our knowledge, and are committed in initiatives to promote science and sustainability.
A tangible and verifiable commitment
Becoming a purpose-driven company is not just a declaration of intent. It is a legal commitment that binds us to our objectives. Every two years, an independent third-party organization evaluates our progress and verifies that we are meeting our commitments. This is a guarantee of transparency and accountability for our partners, our customers, and society as a whole.
CSR : at the heart of our DNA
Our commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR) has been anchored in our culture since our inception. We formalized this approach in 2021 with the help of Greenflex, and since then, we have implemented many concrete actions:
We favor partners who share our values and are committed to sustainability.
We sort our waste, reduce our energy consumption, and promote soft mobility for our employees.
We have signed the Parental Act and adopted inclusive writing in our communications.
We participate in conferences, trade shows, and training courses to share our expertise and inspire other players.
Our vision for the future
We are proud of the progress we have made, but we know that much remains to be done. As a Purpose-Driven Company, we will continue to innovate, share our knowledge, and act responsibly to contribute to the ecological transition.
Whether you are a customer, partner, investor, or future employee, we invite you to discover our approach and join us in our mission for a better future.
