Consumer Microbial Industrial Microbial Nutrition, Care & Control Control Environmental Crop Protection Energy Custom Development Planet & Manufacturing Water Treatment Organization (CDMO) Developing our sustainability strategy In 2022, our first full year of operations as Arxada, we set the ambition of formalizing a sustainability strategy that can help us ensure we deliver on our purpose in a way that supports the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through our products, we want to subscribe to more sustainable solutions for the world’s toughest preservation challenges. Within our operations, we want to ensure that we are contributing to a low-carbon specialty chemicals industry and are creating healthy and safe environments for our employees. Our sustainability strategy enables us to do this by combining forward-thinking ambitions for our products with targets to reduce the environmental and social impact of our operations. In 2022, as part of our strategy development process, we conducted in-depth desktop research and engaged internal and external stakeholders across the globe through a series of interactive workshops and meetings. In addition, we engaged employees and investors, conducting a global customer survey to help inform and guide our strategy and priorities. The inputs from our research and stakeholder engagements were instrumental in identifying and prioritizing the sustainability issues most important to our business and our key stakeholders. The outcome of this work is refinement and focus on key issues that will drive our sustainability performance forward. We evaluated and synthesized our engagement findings, additional industry research and know-how from senior colleagues to develop a sustainability strategy for 2030, resting on the three pillars of Planet, Preservation and People. Going forward as a best practice, we will routinely seek input from all stakeholders and continue updating and refining our sustainability approach to reflect stakeholder priorities.
