Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility at Beck Flavors

The health of the food and beverage industry is important to us and our customers. We support many industry organizations to ensure the future of flavors. For example, somewhere on the planet right now, there is a coffee farmer who is losing their crop to rust or another environmental reason and they don’t know why? With the help of the World Coffee Research, these farmers and their futures are improving daily. They now know their common enemy, called La Roya, in some parts of the world, and are learning strategies to defeat it. As a member of World Coffee Research, we’ve made a commitment to support sustainable coffee production and coffee-farming families.

Environmental Sustainability

At Beck Flavors, we are committed to helping reduce waste and minimizing the carbon footprint for our company and our customers. This same emphasis is placed on companies who provide ingredients and everyday supplies. We use fully recyclable packaging on all our products, and we’ve instituted a general office recycling program for ink/toner cartridges, batteries, and paper. We’ve recently upgraded to LED lights that are extremely efficient, have a longer lifespan and consume up to 90% less power than incandescent bulbs which lowers power costs. These are just a few of our current and expanding initiatives.

Community Impact and Philanthropy

We support the Adopt-a-Highway initiative in St. Louis. We have adopted Schuetz Road, where we collect litter at least four times per year to help with the beautification efforts. We also support Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital, University of Missouri Scholarship Fund and the St. Jude Foundation.
