DRIVING SUSTAINABILITY


Sustainability Adhesive Technologies

The world is facing enormous challenges. We see it as our responsibility to contribute to solving these challenges by enabling sustainability through material science and scientific know-how in bonding, sealing and coating. Based on our deep understanding of the trends and challenges in the industries of our customers and consumers, we have identified three focus topics where we can make the biggest impact with our solutions: Climate, Circularity, and Safety.
 

We aim to make progress across our value chain by driving systemic change through our Products and Partnerships.

PRODUCTS

Products and technologies are at the heart of everything we do. We create more value for our customers and consumers by constantly innovating to offer better performance with a reduced ecological footprint. To further accelerate our contributions to sustainability, we aim to holistically transform our portfolio. Thus, we have developed an internal assessment methodology to create transparency on the sustainability performance of our product portfolio.
