Our Commitment

For us, “care” is more than just part of our core business – it is a key value that demonstrates our responsibility to people and the environment. In an increasingly uncertain and fast-changing world undergoing enormous social and eco-political shifts, companies can only be successful if they respond to changes flexibly. Our approach to sustainability focuses primarily on increasing the company’s flexibility and establishing a forward-looking culture. We have identified the issues that are important to our stakeholders and that contribute to the success of the company. Our international sustainability strategy concentrates on six focus areas in three specific fields of activity:

• Raw Material Use: We incorporate sustainability criteria into our research, the procurement of raw materials, and the development of new formulas and applications.
• Packaging: We contribute to the conservation of resources by minimizing packaging and developing alternative, more sustainable packaging solutions.
• Consumer Engagement: We actively engage with our consumers and encourage them to adopt a more sustainable lifestyle.

• Resource Use: We continuously reduce our consumption of water, energy, and scarce resources in our production and distribution processes.

• Employee Engagement & Development: We encourage our employees to get involved personally and to grow within their roles.
• Social Responsibility: We support local and global social initiatives that are consistent with our company’s strategic goals.
