Over the past century, we are proud to have built a rich heritage and a strong reputation based on quality, while looking after our customers, our people and the environment.

Despite the wide range of products we manufacture and supply, our aim is always to operate within a climate of excellence, not only in terms of the service and procedures we provide to our customers, but also through our manufacturing processes and our commitment to the welfare, health and safety of all of our employees and those people affected by our activities. We are committed to operate with sound corporate care and social responsibility.

In an industry where traditionally additives, chemicals and fossil-based products are essential to the manufacturing process, we have challenged ourselves to ensure that, wherever possible, the environment is at the heart of our activities. We are working extremely hard to create a “greener” culture within our business. This policy includes a summary of what we have achieved and the improvements we continue to make across the board.

In order to achieve this, the business recognises that promoting sustainability and protection of the environment and the avoidance of pollution, is of the utmost importance, not only for the here and now but for the future of everyone. At all levels, and within all functions of the Group, we are committed to continual improvement of our management systems and enhancement of our environmental performance.

We are determined to ensure that wherever practically possible, our activities including purchasing, manufacturing, distribution, waste generation and disposal, will minimise the effect on the environment and prevent pollution. On the agenda at Board level and throughout the business, we strive to continually improve all areas of our activities and the impact we have on the environment. We will always comply with relevant environmental legislation and industry codes of practice as well as any other compliance obligations, as a minimum level of performance.
