Clariant reports big savings in carbon emissions, water and energy
13/04/2011
Covering 60 pages in total, the report outlines the company’s claim that sustainability and innovation “go hand in hand along Clariant’s entire value chain”. The data, collected at all operating levels and in all regions and consolidated at group level, demonstrate that the company has made considerable progress with key parameters in recent years, Clariant said in a statement.
Between 2005 and 2010, carbon emissions decreased by more than 40%, energy consumption fell by 35% and water consumption dropped by 30%.
The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), an independent organisation for sustainability reporting standards, performed a critical review of the report and confirmed adherence to application level A, its highest reporting level. “Clariant sees this as an obligation to continue to work on the area of sustainability and to make improvements. We firmly believe that following the successful completion of our restructuring, profitable growth can only come with sustainability,” said chief executive, Hariolf Kottmann, on announcing the publication of the report.
