Newsweek, MSCI and Sustainalytics all recently acknowledged Belden’s commitment to doing business in a responsible and ethical manner.
For the second year in a row, Newsweek included Belden on its ranking of America’s Most Responsible Companies, advancing the company by 57 spots from No. 288 in 2024 to No. 231 in 2025. Every year, the list recognizes 600 corporations that demonstrate a strong commitment to integrating responsibility into core operational strategies, based on publicly available key performance indicators (KPIs) published in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) reports, sustainability reports and other reports.
Also, for the second year in a row, MSCI, a global agency for investment management, marked Belden with an AA rating as of November 2024. The ranking measures company management of financially relevant risks and opportunities as they relate to sustainability. It compares each company’s positioning relative to the industry average for key issues, including chemical safety, opportunities in clean tech, controversial sourcing, governance and labor management. According to MSCI, Belden’s AA rating indicates leadership in managing sustainability risks and opportunities.
Finally, analytics firm Sustainalytics awarded Belden a sustainability Risk Rating of 20.4, placing the company in the industry’s low-risk group, indicating that it has lower exposure to significant sustainability issues, such as pollution and resource depletion, poor labor practices and poor management practices. These sustainability ratings act as multidimensional assessments of exposure to industry-specific sustainability risks and how those risks are managed.
These accolades come as a direct result of Belden’s dedication to its formal sustainability program, which was established in 2021. Now, four years later, Belden is on track to accomplish the following by the end of 2025:
-
Reduce its Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by
25% through the completion of more than 200 projects globally at its facilities. -
Deliver unconscious bias training to
100% of Belden team members worldwide. - Graduate 200 professionals from its Launch: Early Career Leadership Program and Intern Programs.
-
Achieve understanding of its Code of Conduct from
100% of global non-production team members.
To accelerate its efforts to promote responsible, sustainable business practices on a global scale, Belden has also partnered with UN Global Impact and Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) since 2022. These two organizations provide principles and frameworks that guide implementation of sustainability initiatives and responsible practices.
“While our sustainability initiatives are obviously important for our business, they’re even more important for our world,” said Brian Anderson, Belden’s Senior Vice President, Legal, General Counsel, and Corporate Secretary and the leader of Belden’s Sustainability program. “We’ve come a long way in making improvements over the past few years, and we hope Belden’s recognition acts as inspiration for other companies to pay closer attention to their impact as well. We can all make a commitment to delivering the right results in the right ways.”
