Sustainability means different things to different people. Some refer to it as business ethics, good corporate governance or corporate responsibility, while others refer to it when talking about climate change, environmental awareness, fair trade and community programs.
To us, sustainability is value creation to customers, employees, shareholders and society via an ethical pursuit of profitable economic growth, lower carbon footprint and more developed talent.
In the past, while our efforts for contributing to a better environment were deeply integrated into our product stewardship programs, we also implemented a Code of Conduct as best practice for stronger financial discipline and fully transparent business operations.
Today, our sustainability efforts have a much broader reach, impregnating all aspects of our value chain - from investment decisions and sourcing, to production, research and development, sales and marketing.
But the challenge is constant. As social and environmental trends are re-shaping the competitive landscape, with emerging markets leading growth, natural resources becoming more and more scarce, and climate change on top of every governmental agenda, we have a strong commitment to deliver Tomorrow’s Answers Today by:
Developing and commercializing eco-premium adhesive solutions that gradually outperform our current product offering
Introducing a carbon footprint program throughout our value chain and stronger policies for guaranteeing sustainable water supplies at all of our sites
Zero incidents and zero waste in all of our manufacturing activities
Developing employee talent through advanced leadership programs
As our customer, you can trust that we make every effort to continue being your partner of choice now, and in the future.
