Tell us something about Archroma's dedication and commitment to sustainability.
Our purpose at Archroma is to help make the industry more sustainable. Therefore, whilst clearly the regulations are challenging on the short term for the industry, we believe that there is no other way, moving forward. That is why, we introduced a whole new way to look at colors and performance for textiles; with an approach based on solution systems. We work with our customers looking at the whole production process; including their needs, challenges and market goals, which allows us to come up with holistic, optimized and competitive solutions.
Our objective is clearly to push the sustainability agenda even further. We joined the ZDHC Foundation as a contributor to help drive industry-wide change in a responsible chemical management. We have uploaded more than 1020 products on the online search tool - Chemical Module of the ZDHC Gateway. Archroma is also one of the seven chemical leaders who recently founded the SCTI (Sustainable Chemistry for the Textile Industry), aiming to drive collaboration, innovation and transformational change in textiles and leather, towards a more sustainable industry. Such initiatives, associated with our commitment to develop innovations and systems aimed to help textile manufacturers with optimized productivity and/or value creation in their markets, help make the textile industry more sustainable and protect our planet for the generations to come.
