We are here to advance everyday life for the better, with a clear sustainability agenda.
Raw materials for the production of chemicals must gradually be shifted from fossil, to renewable and recycled, in all materials that make up end products such as cars, buildings, furniture, clothes and electronics. In addition, we must aim higher, and the end goal is not only to reduce negative impact, but become a contributor to the environment.
Thanks to chemistry, the air and water in many European cities is cleaner today than 100 years ago. The ozone layer is healing and as we tackle the great challenge of climate change, chemistry will play a key role. Meanwhile the chemical industry is challenged by the need to shift from fossil dependence to alternative raw material to limit its own impact.
