Sustainability

Respectful Management of Resources

We recognised our responsibility towards humankind and the environment early on. Environmental Social Governance (ESG) is embedded in Sekisui Chemical’s fundamental strategy. In our everyday business, not only do economic targets count, but so too do uncompromising ecological and social aspects. This focus shapes our company, what we offer and what we do.

The safety of people and the environment is a prime concern of Sekisui Alveo. It shapes our company, the products and service we offer, and our forward thinking. We invest in outstanding products and are committed to the sustainable and responsible use of resources.

Certified sustainability

To reduce the carbon footprint of the raw materials significantly, we work with our suppliers in saving the fossil feedstocks and replacing them with circular feedstocks during the manufacturing process of these raw materials. To enable this, Sekisui Alveo choose the certified sustainability approach (ISCC PLUS) to support the accelerated transition to Bioeconomy and Circular economy along the entire supply chain.

In simplified terms, the ISCC PLUS mass balance ap­proach works like renewable electricity at the energy supplier – but for raw materials to produce polymers. Just as the energy supplier must ensure this by mixing renewable electricity in the energy supply chain, the polymer manufacturer must mix sustainable material flows to replace the fossil feedstock. Depending on the proportion of the sustainably produced material stream mixed and documented according to the principles of mass balance, the producers can sell the finished polymer with an ISCC PLUS certifica­te. The product itself does not differ from the polymers pro­duced from a conventional feedstock. The product meets all the regulatory compliance as before and can be used for all applications. Certified polyolefin foams produced using these certified sustainable materials also do not need any requalification or recertification by customers.
