Muttenz, September 10, 2015 - Clariant, a world leader in specialty chemicals,
today was included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) for the third
consecutive time. The most renowned sustainability index listed Clariant in
both the DJSI Europe and the DJSI World. The analysts at RobecoSAM confirmed
that Clariant is among the top 4 percent of companies in the global chemical
industry when it comes to the economic, environmental and social dimensions of
sustainability. The company achieved best in class scores in the categories
Innovation Management, Customer Relationship Management, Operational Eco-
efficiency and Environmental Reporting.
"For Clariant, sustainability is a prerequisite for being successful in the
mid to long term. It's an integral part of our corporate strategy and we will
further include sustainability in our businesses, combining customer's needs
with own ambitions," comments CEO Hariolf Kottmann. "Sustainability is not
only our license to operate in the future, it is even more an important
element in creating added value for all stakeholders."
With its Portfolio Value Program, Clariant has developed a comprehensive tool
to improve its sustainability performance on all levels in a continuous
process, focusing also on further sustainability integration within its
business and product development activities. The company recently emphasized
its commitment to new sustainability targets, such as sustainable sourcing of
palm oil with a focus on traceability, continuous improvement of its product
portfolio on all sustainability levels, improvement or replacement of product
groups from the portfolio not delivering on the comprehensive sustainability
aspects, value chain collaboration, and focusing on all phases of the product
life-cycle. Besides its own proactive sustainability approach Clariant has
committed to external sustainability initiatives such as the Responsible
Care(®) Global Charter, and the United Nations Global Compact.
"Anchoring sustainability in the company is a continuous process. We have
implemented numerous sustainability initiatives over the past few years at all
levels of the company, and we will continue this journey systematically in the
future. The inclusion in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index confirms our
efforts," says Joachim F. Krüger, Senior Vice President, Corporate
Sustainability and Regulatory Affairs.
Regarded as one of the world's foremost sustainability indices, the DJSI
benchmarks the sustainability performance of leading companies based on
environmental, social and economic performance, including forward-looking
indicators. It assesses various criteria, including risk and supply chain
management, operational eco-efficiency, product stewardship, human capital
development and occupational health and safety.
