Beghou’s Environmental, Social and Governance Values

Our commitment to ethical business practices and building a better tomorrow.  

As life science experts, we believe in doing business with purpose. Our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Program reflects our commitment to making a positive impact on our world. By embedding ESG principles into our operations, we’re not just meeting today’s challenges—we’re building a better tomorrow for our communities, our people and our planet. 

Whether you’re an employee, consultant or contractor, we all play a part in driving positive change across our business and beyond. 

 

Social Responsibility 

We care deeply about our people and the communities we serve and our ESG Program reflects that.  

  • Values: As part of our Core Values, outlined in our Employee Handbook, we encourage all employees to foster a supportive and inclusive environment. These values are not just words on paper; they guide our actions every day, shape how we run our projects, evaluate our employees and interact with one another.  
  • Employee Well-being: We support our team with flexible work arrangements, wellness initiatives and opportunities for growth. 
  • Community Engagement: We’re actively involved in our communities, matching employee donations and supporting local initiatives. 

 

Environmental Responsibility 

We’re dedicated to reducing our environmental footprint. Here’s how we’re making a difference: 

  • Sustainable Resource Use: We’re adopting energy-efficient practices, minimizing waste and opting for greener travel options. 
  • Carbon Footprint Reduction: We’re committed to cutting our carbon emissions with clear, science-based targets actively being set. 
  • Sustainable Procurement: We prioritize eco-friendly materials and maintain high standards for our suppliers. 

 

Governance and Ethical Business Practices 

We’re committed to leading with integrity and transparency. Here’s what that looks like at Beghou: 

  • Ethical Conduct: We uphold the highest standards of honesty and fairness in all our engagements. Our employees adhere to a code of conduct outlined in our Employee Handbook that promotes integrity, fairness and honesty and is reinforced by training for Ethical Business Practices. 
  • Transparency and Accountability: We ensure our operations are transparent, with open communication with stakeholders and regular audits. 
  • Data Privacy and Security: We protect the data of our clients and employees with robust security measures and compliance with all relevant data protection laws and regulations, including GDPR, CCPA and HIPAA. 

 

ESG Monitoring 

We take our ESG commitments seriously and are focused on making continuous improvements: 

  • ESG Committee: Our ESG Committee guides our ESG Program, ensuring we stay on track and continue to make progress. 
  • Continuous Improvement: We regularly review and update our ESG practices to stay ahead of emerging challenges and opportunities. 
  • Reporting and Transparency: We’re committed to sharing our progress with stakeholders through our annual ESG report and setting clear goals for the future.
