Explore Corporate Sustainability

We invest in initiatives that help us grow responsibly, stand out in the market, and make a positive impact on the world around us—creating long-term value for our stakeholders and the communities we serve.

Designed to protect substrates and support responsible manufacturing

We offer innovative solutions designed to preserve and protect substrates with a naturally lower environmental impact. Our products are developed through our Sustainability by Design program, which embeds life cycle thinking into the earliest stages of innovation and development.

We help manufacturers and finishers enhance durability and aesthetics while supporting productivity, safety, and compliance with strict carbon footprint and resource conservation requirements. Third-party labs and certification bodies validate the sustainable attributes of our products and supply chain, making us a reliable partner for customers with ecolabel, certification, and regulatory needs.

Sustainability by Design: integrated across the life cycle

We incorporate sustainability attributes that are relevant for every stage of our products’ life cycles. Our Sustainability by Design program is an element of our product development process, and its goal is to identify ways to incorporate sustainability attributes into our products while improving performance.

Important tools we use in this process include Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), which evaluate potential impacts of our products throughout their value chain—from raw material chemistry to manufacturing, transportation, and even end-of-life modeling.
