Muttenz, September 12, 2013 - Clariant, a world leader in specialty chemicals,
was included today in the European Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI Europe).
In taking this step the analysts of RobecoSAM have confirmed that when it comes
to sustainability, Clariant is among the top 10 percent of leading companies in
Europe in the chemical industry. In order to be listed in the DJSI, the company
had to record an outstanding and sustainable performance in the economic,
environmental and social dimension.
"A sustainable approach to running the business in economic, environmental, and
social terms is an integral part of Clariant's strategy," explains CEO Hariolf
Kottmann. "We want to create long-term added value and benefit for all our
interest groups, which is why we have set ambitious sustainability goals. The
fact that the results we have achieved are now being used as a benchmark for our
industry makes us proud."
Clariant has set itself ambitious environmental goals regarding quality and
quantity to be reached by 2020. In terms of its sustainability strategy, the
company does not merely meet legal requirements, but voluntarily undertakes to
go above and beyond to comply with higher standards such as the Responsible Care
Global Charter, Global Product Strategy, or the 10 principles of the UN Global
Compact.
"Over the past few years we have launched numerous projects and made many
resources available to make sustainability an integral component of our business
activities and corporate culture globally. Inclusion in the renowned Dow Jones
Sustainability Index confirms our strategy," says Joachim F. Krüger, Senior Vice
President, Corporate Sustainability and Regulatory Affairs.
