Green vanguard
Clariant ’ s chemical specialists are changing the game with organic additives , partially replacing petroleum derivatives in industrial formulas , and through the development of new and better products that use energy and resources efficiently . Additionally , the environmental certification ISO 14001 is part of the company ’ s green awareness and sustainable management ; they also follow ESHA global standards ( Environment , Safety , Health , and Assurance ).
Brazil is a great example of sustainability ; Clariant Brazil operates a waste incinerator in Suzano , and a Solid Waste Landfill in Rio de Janeiro .
“ For us at Clariant , the topic of sustainability and innovation is not a trend , these are strategic pillars we have structured and defined in our master plan , to meet requirements that the industry , our customers and the same planet need ,” said Hernandez , after giving the example of a silk whose raw material comes from natural sources . This 2015 , the corporation started a sustainability dialogue held at Frankfurt Innovation Center in Germany , in relation to the company ’ s sustainable developments and green solutions under the brand Ecotain . “ Our obligation in the future is to continue launching more products with this characterization ,” he added .
