The consequences of the climate crisis and resource scarcity are being felt across the globe, creating new and complex challenges for business and society.
In this dynamic world, companies must ensure that they operate in a way that continually minimizes their impact on the environment and brings value to society.
Sustainability is therefore at the heart of everything we do. It is inherent in our business model: we innovate sustainable solutions for customers that protect and care for people and the planet, resulting in a virtuous cycle of benefits for Diversey and all our stakeholders.
We are launching our new sustainability strategy, Protect. Care. Sustain. to guide our environmental, social and governance (ESG) priorities and actions. This strategy is based on both 2030 objectives and short-term targets that will further reduce our environmental footprint, combat social inequalities and offer solutions to help our customers achieve their own sustainability goals.
