Sustainability

​Why is sustainability a priority to us?

For Croda, sustainability means doing business the right way; environmentally, socially and financially. On a daily basis, all of our employees are working towards delivering our commitment to:

We believe in a better future, a future able to offer more sustainable ingredients that meet the highest requirements of safety and quality. From this perspective, all our activities are carried out to satisfy the needs of present and future generations, regarding economic, social and environmental points of view.

We are committed to manufacturing and marketing products in a responsible and sustainable way that benefits equally to society and the environment. Driven by this dynamic, we are working hard throughout our supply chain to continually improve our practices and procedures and to share the outcomes of these improvements with our shareholders.

Sustainability is an unstoppable mega trend, with consumers of cleaning products increasingly seeking more sustainable solutions and manufacturing companies searching for ways to meet these expectations.

Sustainability is at the core of our business, from the new materials we create according to our Green Chemistry principles, to the sustainable manufacturing practices we have in place in our facilities around the world. Our scientific focus has always been to create chemistries that are economically viable, ecologically sound and socially responsible without compromising on product performance. 

Our business strategy and sustainability programme is informed by three global drivers of most importance to us. These global drivers, listed below, are influencing the needs of our customers and consumers. By responding to these, we can create new opportunities for growth and contribute to a more sustainable world for all.

Changing Demographics

People in developed economies, and increasingly in the developing world, are living longer and have more income and better access to buy a wider range of health, beauty and well-being products.

Fragile World

The impacts of global warming are accelerating as a result of greenhouse gas emissions from the burning of fossil fuels, coupled with the degradation of the natural means of the planet to counteract these effects.

Changing Expectations & Behaviours

Fuelled by the convergence of social, mobile and 'big data', consumers' expect greater choice while demanding more transparency in the products and services they use with anywhere, anytime access to information.

We have a responsibility to continue to improve our environmental, social and economic performance by innovating for a sustainable future. Our chemistry and raw material sources support consumer demands, and wider stakeholder calls, for products with better ecological and environmental profiles. This expertise, alongside our close customer relationships, is delivering sustainable products with outstanding product performance to the markets in which we operate.

Raw Material Sourcing

The Home Care business is no different to the rest of Croda in that sustainability is integral to all aspect of what we do. We are committed to consistently sourcing and using a high level of natural, renewable raw materials to make our products. We continue to build on our renewable raw material heritage to create, make and sell sustainable solutions today, to positively influence tomorrow.
