H.B. Fuller Releases 2023 Sustainability Report

Focus remains on helping customers reach their sustainability goals

H.B. Fuller Company (NYSE: FUL), the largest pureplay adhesives company in the world, today released its 2023 Sustainability Report, which outlines the company’s progress toward meeting its global sustainability goals.

In 2023, H.B. Fuller initiated work to set new sustainability targets in line with Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) standards. To support these new standards, the company took several meaningful steps to improve data collection and analysis while also responding to customers’ sustainability needs.

“At H.B. Fuller, sustainability is fundamental to our product innovation, central to improving our operational efficiency, and integrated in our values and culture,” said H.B. Fuller President and CEO Celeste Mastin. “Today, nearly 60% of H.B. Fuller’s new product development projects are focused on increasing the sustainability of our customers’ end products, and this heightened commitment to sustainable product innovation for our customers creates a ripple effect that benefits our employees, communities, shareholders, and the natural environment.”

The 2023 Sustainability Report details how H.B. Fuller is delivering on its sustainability commitments by:

  • Creating six Sustainability Action Subcommittees representing multiple geographies and functions responsible for advancing environmental, social, and governance initiatives
  • Implementing market-leading software to support Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) related to product footprint and climate change
  • Launching several technologies enabling sustainable customer innovations across a wide range of end markets, including electric vehicles, solar, woodworking, technical textile, packaging, hygiene, and energy efficient buildings
  • Reducing our Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) by 35% since 2019 even though several new companies have been acquired
  • Launching Employee Voice, a new “pulse” survey platform that employs machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) to help us more effectively extract valuable insights from our employees so we can listen, learn, and adapt. The new platform was launched after years of performing extensive employee engagement surveys.
  • Investing in a new global mentorship digital platform that supported nearly 400 mentorship pairings across the company
  • Providing financial support to more than 186 organizations through the H.B. Fuller Company Foundation and supporting employee volunteerism that benefitted local communities in 27 countries

H.B. Fuller continues to build on its commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), align its disclosures to the industry-leading Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards, and report under the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) Index.
