Belkin

The company’s 2025 Impact Report highlights its continued progress in emissions reduction, circular design, and responsible packaging


LOS ANGELES--BUSINESS WIRE--

Belkin, a leading consumer electronics brand for 40 years, published its 2025 Impact Report, highlighting key achievements and reaffirming its commitment to corporate responsibility. Having achieved carbon neutrality in scope 1 and scope 2 emissions in 2025, the company continues to advance toward scope 3 carbon neutrality through enhanced life cycle assessment capabilities and improved supplier and logistics data collection. In 2025, Belkin calculated 131 product carbon footprints across its portfolio, surpassed 21.6 million PCR products sold, and has achieved a 95% reduction in single-use plastic packaging since 2019, reflecting continued progress in carbon reduction and responsible product design.

“As we continue to make progress against our sustainability goals, we are taking deliberate steps to reduce our impact,” said Steven Malony, CEO of Belkin. “Over the past year, we expanded the use of post-consumer recycled materials, further reduced single-use plastic packaging, and strengthened how we measure emissions across our portfolio. Just as importantly, we are increasing transparency and strengthening governance as we build toward a more responsible future.”

In the last 12 months, on its journey to carbon neutrality in all scopes by 2030 and in line with its commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, Belkin achieved:

Climate action (UN Goal 13)

  • Carbon neutrality in direct and purchased emissions (scopes 1 and 2)
  • 3,200 metric tons of CO2e reduced in 2025 for Belkin products 1

Responsible consumption and production (UN Goal 12)

  • 95% reduction in single use plastic packaging
  • 640 metric tons of virgin plastic saved from 21.6 millionPCR products sold
  • 1,072 metric tons cumulative plastic savings since 2019 (this is the equivalent of 53.6M water bottles saved2)
  • Funding the responsible recycling of:
    • 29,241 metric tons of electrical and electronic devices
    • 11,928 metric tons of packaging
    • 2,029 metric tons of batteries

Made with recycled materials

Belkin continues to make progress in reducing the environmental impact of its products and packaging. Since introducing its transition to 72–75% post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials, the company has increased that figure to up to 90% Global Recycling Standard-certified PCR in select products sold in plastic-free packaging.

Best practice initiatives

Belkin is proud to announce several important milestones in its journey towards carbon neutrality by 2030.

These include the expansion of its battery recycling programme through its voluntary participation in B-cycle, Australia’s leading battery recycling initiative, and the expansion of its UK packaging recycling programme to now include household packaging.

Belkin has also been recognised by the US EPA Green Power Partnership programme and earned a Beyond Best Practice performance rating from the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO). This rating reflects the significant progress Belkin has made in advancing packaging sustainability and reinforces the company’s continued commitment to responsible packaging design and material choices.

This progress was further recognised with the Hon Hai Circular Economy Silver Award, underscoring Belkin’s momentum towards a more circular future.

Together, these milestones highlight Belkin’s ongoing efforts to reduce environmental impact across its operations and packaging portfolio. As the company continues to invest in circular design principles and more responsible product development, Belkin remains focused on advancing its goal of achieving carbon neutrality across scope 3 by 2030.
