We view our sustainable offerings as our responsibility as a good corporate citizen but also as opportunities to create new revenue streams.
In 2022, we continued our focus on sustainable chemistry through customer engagement, regulatory awareness and discipline in our product innovation processes. We also announced a 澳门星际国际娱乐备用网站 Goal to support our focus: reach sustainable chemistry sales of $1 billion by 2030.

从创意到可持续解决方案:我们如何创新
我们的R&D团队与我们的产品营销合作, regulatory and safety teams to lead the development of our sustainable chemistry and processes. 在设计新产品时, 我们考虑了许多特性和功能, usually beginning with specifications from 我们的客户 and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). We are also mindful of regulatory requirements in the markets we serve while always aiming for best-in-class quality and safety. 在很多情况下, we go beyond meeting legislative requirements and industry standards using a “sustainability scorecard” methodology. 在这个R里&维过程, 我们考虑使用生物基材料, the reduction of hazardous materials and the full lifecycle impact of our new solutions (including disposal and recycling).
Reducing Hazardous Chemicals Through Green Chemistry
