A SUSTAINABLE VALUE DRIVER FOR THE COATING AND ADHESIVES INDUSTRY
Running a business responsibly and sustainably requires effective measures to protect the climate and resources, which is why we at Röhm have set ambitious goals for ourselves.
We aim for zero: We want to achieve zero Greenhouse Gas emissions (GHG) by 2050 and want to contribute to circular economy. This ambition is shared by more and more players in the coatings and adhesives industry.
Achieving such sustainability goals requires pooling every effort and endeavor across the entire value chain. We are going to use technological innovation and capital investment to tailor our processes to ever more environmentally friendly production methods.
The use of renewable raw materials and energies, and increasing use of recycled materials are important levers to reduce our carbon footprint and promote the circular economy.
Understanding the demand from customers, investors and society has led to developing our new DEGALAN® proTerra product range. We are making a difference in the coatings and adhesives industry to protect the climate and save resources.
