Sustainability

We have worked hard to develop a comprehensive sustainability strategy, built on four key pillars: Products, People, Planet, and Governance.

This sustainability strategy, informed by a rigorous double materiality assessment, will be formally introduced in 2025 and will guide our actions for years to come.

Sustainability at the Core of Innovation

We prioritise sustainability by assessing our product portfolio's social and environmental impacts. Using the WBCSD framework, we lay a foundation for future innovations.

Our goal is decarbonisation by reducing CO₂ emissions in our processes and through products that extend lifecycles, lowering the environmental impact of our customers' operations. Solutions like Industrial Biocides, Personal care preservatives, and Flame Retardants help reduce CO₂ footprints along supply chains.

We enhance circular economy efforts with chemical recycling, preserving resources and improving product lifecycle lengths. This focus on preservation leads to significant PCF reduction, helping our customers improve their carbon footprint through sustainable practices.

Commitment to Human Rights and an Inclusive Corporate Culture

Our commitment to people and society is a cornerstone of our ESG strategy. We are dedicated to upholding human rights and fostering a respectful and inclusive workplace. Our Code of Conduct clearly outlines our dedication to combat modern slavery and guides our partnerships with suppliers to ensure they share our values. As part of our commitment to maintaining health and safety standards in the workplace we are actively seeking ISO 45001 certification at all our manufacturing sites.

Environmental Responsibility at the Core

We are making significant improvements in our environmental management systems. In 2024, we focused on enhancing the accuracy of our greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory and calculating the product carbon footprint of key products, laying the groundwork for future decarbonisation targets. Additionally, we have identified key decarbonisation levers across our manufacturing sites and are investing in renewable energy sources, including solar power. Another key milestone was the publication of our first climate-related financial disclosures in 2024, outlining our governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics in relation to climate change under different scenarios.

Upholding the Highest Standards of Business Practices

We believe that strong governance is fundamental to our success. Our ethical business practices are laid out in our Code of Conduct and Anti-Trust and Competition Policy, and we remain committed to maintaining high standards of transparency and accountability in our governance practices.
