Advancing the UN SDGs through sustainable preservation At Arxada, we understand that preservation and sustainability go hand-in-hand. By increasing the longevity of something, whether it be a physical material or the health and wellbeing of people and the planet, we are helping to build a more sustainable future. Some of our products act directly as preservatives, through material protection. Other products work to combat harmful microorganisms and improve hygiene, helping to support healthier societies. To ensure we are aligned with the needs of society, we will begin the assessment of our product porolio in 2023 and set a sustainable solutions revenue goal for 2030. This will be evaluated using the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) Porolio Sustainability Assessment (PSA) or another 3rd party-validated methodology. Improving the impact of our products Our commitment to sustainability is closely tied to our focus on innovation and technology. Considering the recent pandemic, we recognize the critical importance of keeping people, places and the planet healthy. Our eorts to achieve sustainability encompass a range of initiatives, including preserving current technologies that protect public health and developing new, greener and more sustainable chemistries and products. One of our key areas of focus is preventing microbial contamination in consumer products. Such contamination can have significant financial and reputational implications for manufacturers and marketers. Our preservatives are designed to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, yeast and fungi, thereby extending the shelf life of personal care and cleaning products. As microbes continue to evolve due to increasing population density and climate change, the threat they pose to people, places and the planet are constantly evolving. We remain commied to staying at the forefront of technology and innovation to protect public health while promoting sustainability. We have created and instituted a product development process that goes beyond basic regulatory compliance and focuses on performance, environmental and safety goals for the benefit of customers, employees and end-users alike. In developing our products, our research and development (R&D) and operational teams work together to ensure our products support preservation in their end uses. For example, products that form a component in paints and coatings can be used to protect and preserve the material of the surface it is used on. Coatings used on wind turbines that produce renewable energy must withstand harsh weather conditions, while coatings used on appliances must withstand everyday use. Our teams work closely to ensure that our products meet all current and anticipated regulatory requirements.
