Our sustainability goals
We are well positioned to help the world tread a more sustainable path. Right now, over 80% of our products contribute to four key UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In June 2021 we announced a new sustainability strategy that will see over 95% of our product sales, and 95% of our R&D spend, align with these four priority SDGs by 2030. And better yet, we will do this while also striving to become net zero in our own operations by 2040.
It is clear that new chemistry technology will be critical to meeting the world’s challenges in energy, transport and future manufacturing. And we need the world's brightest talent to help drive our inspiring use of science and investment in innovation so we are ready to tackle these challenges head on.
