We make the world a colourful place! We are with you in paints and varnishes that are used in homes and in public buildings.

The use of our eco-dispersions in the manufacture of paints and varnishes reduces the emission of volatile organic compounds from these paints.

Increasing areas of organic farming

We help farmers and fruit growers ensure the highest quality in fruit and vegetables. We strive to ensure that the crops are ecological and adequately protected.

By using our plant protection products, we contribute to increasing the area of organic farming.

See what we are doing to make our business even more ecological, so that future generations can simply live better.

How do we want to do it?

Recycled raw materials

We are focused on making the most of the potential of BIO and recycled raw materials.

That’s why we operate so that the proportion of key monomers of bio origin is 10% and recycled polystyrene is up to 40%.

Optimising and increasing the efficiency of production processes

We are actively working to reduce the consumption of electricity and utilities (water, industrial gases, cooling) at our production sites.

For this purpose, we implement a number of projects that improve the energy efficiency of our installations and buildings. We also reduce the amount of production waste.

 

Sustainable design

We want 100% of our new products to be sustainable. We are talking not only about the composition of individual products, but also about the production processes.

Sustainability means designing products and their packaging to minimise environmental impact throughout their entire life cycle.

Reducing emissions and using green energy sources

We focus on zero- and low-carbon energy sources. We are developing offshore wind farms and small reactor-based nuclear power projects. We are working to completely shut down the coal assets that operate within our group by 2028.

Detailed monitoring of carbon footprint

We want all our products to have an accurate calculation of how much of a carbon footprint they leave behind.

A safe and sustainable working environment

Every positive change starts with you. We continually improve safety and ensure that all our employees are involved in our sustainable development strategy.

Responsible cooperation with partners

We believe that business is much more than mere numbers. That is why we build exclusive relationships with companies that share similar values.

Activities for the benefit of local communities

We take an active part in activities supporting the regions in which we operate. We take actions to promote the preservation of biodiversity. Furthermore, we want all local schools (Oświęcim, Kralupy, Breda, Wingles, Schkopau) to be included in our information and education programme.

Let's talk about sustainable development!
