As a chemical company, we follow world trends and try to implement them both in our current business and in our long-term strategy. We identify the needs of different industries by looking for market niches that are relevant to emerging trends, and we design and implement environmentally-friendly solutions. Such a process is not easy, as it requires a decisive departure from the traditional model of the product portfolio towards more advanced and innovative solutions.

Emerging trends in the chemical industry show different directions of market and technological activity. There are a number of factors that will continue to have a significant impact on the changes in the raw materials market and chemical products. As a surfactant manufacturer, we are aware that the global chemical industry adapts to the market in a comprehensive way. This means a greater focus on the evolving needs of consumers who are increasingly aware of global economic, environmental, and social problems.

Our Sustainability Policy and Corporate Social Responsibility policy takes into account long-term business strategies not only in economic but also environmental, social and ethical aspects.

Our goals include striving for a balance between economic business profitability and a broadly understood social interest and responsible management of the organisation. One of the key issues in responsible management has been communication with all our stakeholders. We believe that an effective dialogue enables effective identification of further directions of the company’s activities towards the realisation of the idea of Sustainable Development.

The Sustainable Development and Social Responsibility Policy is implemented in our company in 4 basic pillars:

market

organisation

society

environment

Supervision over the correct implementation of the accepted commitments is a team appointed for this purpose, directly subject to the Management Board of the company.
