Clariant
Adrian Beard, Clariant, presented the company’s “Portfolio Value Programme System” which aims to ensure that its products are positive for the planet (Life Cycle Analysis), for people (responding to social mega-trends and societal needs) and offer good performance (compared to the current market standard).
This represents constantly moving targets, driving product improvement.
Clariant believes that this is fundamental to the company’s markets, because of the need to respond to customers’ own sustainability programmes (e.g. electronics manufacturers) and to investor confidence (due diligence and financial risk of environmental liabilities). Clariant is proud to be in the Dow Jones Top 10 sustainability stock listing.
