A new guideline harmonises product carbon footprint calculations for chemicals

108

INTRODUCTION
As leaders in the chemical industry, we carry responsibility to use our scientific and research power to move the needle towards a more sustainable future. A key contribution will include the reduction of our environmental footprint and the innovation and development of more sustainable products. Sustainable business starts with sustainable procurement, which addresses environmental topics just as much as social ones, reaching from the safeguarding of human rights to reducing greenhouse gas emissions associated with purchased goods. Our responsibility includes the business relationships with our supply chain partners, of whom we expect to meet the same standards that we have set for ourselves.
