In 2024, BYK in Widnes selected Halton Entertainment's Arts and Regional Theatre School (HEARTs) from a number of charities as the fundraising target for the year's planned charity events. HEARTs, a local theatre company that welcomes students from three years old to young adults, has an open-door policy to ensure everyone is treated equally. The organization, which feels like one big family, was suggested by one of BYK's longest serving employees who, along with the family, is actively involved in volunteering with HEARTs.

At the European Coatings Show (ECS), which will take place from March 25 to 27, 2025 in Nuremberg, numerous technical lectures by additive experts from BYK will show how specialty chemicals contribute to sustainability in all areas: Wax additives and even more environmentally friendly defoamers for liquid and powder coatings as well as construction applications help to achieve ecological goals.
