We do what’s needed, for a better tomorrow.

Scientists have identified a powerful treatment that improves memory, creativity, health, and happiness—and even helps people live longer. It’s free, natural, and remarkably effective.

That treatment is sleep.

This belief lies at the heart of BekaertDeslee. Our purpose is to improve the lives of many, for generations, by enabling the planet to sleep better. Every night, our fabrics touch the lives of millions—making sleep more comfortable, healthier, and safer.

At the same time, we are transforming how mattress textiles are made. We are shifting a traditionally linear industry toward a circular system that minimizes waste, maximizes resource efficiency, and reduces climate impact. This is not a distant ambition—it is happening today.

Driving Circularity Forward

In 2025, we reached a major milestone: 10% of our fabrics now contain at least 20% recycled content, up from 6% the year before. This avoided over 8,500 tons of virgin polyester—equal to 425 million PET bottles—and prevented 22,865 tonnes of CO2 emissions, comparable to the footprint of 3,266 households. Our roadmap is clear: zero fabric waste to landfill by 2027 and 50% recycled content by 2030.

Innovation for Impact

Nearly 60% of our fabrics are now designed to be recycling-ready through monomaterial construction and reduced use of hindering substances. While recycling infrastructure is still evolving, we ensure our products are prepared for the circular economy of tomorrow.

Climate Leadership

Since 2021, our Scope 1 and 2 emissions dropped by 45%, driven by energy efficiency and renewable electricity, which reached 46% in 2024. We aim for 80% renewable electricity by 2030. Scope 3 remains complex, but we continue to push boundaries through material innovation and collaboration with customers and suppliers.

People and Governance

Sustainability goes beyond the environment. Our Employer Net Promoter Score reached 33 in 2024, close to our 2030 target. Employee experience rose to 81%, voluntary turnover fell, and safety performance improved. On governance, we maintain zero convictions for anti-corruption and achieved 95% training coverage for at-risk roles.

Why Changemakers

We are not just adapting—we are leading. By embedding circularity into our core business, setting transparent climate targets, and strengthening social and governance foundations, we show that meaningful change is possible.

Winning the Changemakers Award would amplify this message: that innovation, collaboration, and accountability can reshape industries—and help the world sleep better.
