Partnerships for Success

We understand that we cannot enact meaningful change on our own. That's why we work closely with partners across our value chain to drive collective action at scale.

Transforming operations

We harness strategic partnerships to elevate operational efficiency and strengthen supply chain resilience, driving a more adaptable and sustainable global network. By playing an active role in several strategic partnerships, we enhance efficiency and effectiveness across our  operations, building more sustainable processes within Surface Solutions and across our wide network of stakeholders.

Collaborating with like-minded organizations and individuals helps us create a shared culture of best practice that extends beyond our own initiatives. We actively invite others to join us in our mission to create a sustainable future.

When we work together, we supercharge our ability to tackle environmental challenges, share resources, and inspire positive change, supporting our vision of a healthier planet for generations to come.

We are proud to be co-founding members of the Traceability Alliance for Sustainable Cosmetics (TRASCE) and of the Responsible Mica Initiative (RMI). These partnerships enhance traceability and accountability in our supply chains, ensuring responsible sourcing practices that benefit both people and the planet.

Raising industry standards

Our thought leadership sets new industry benchmarks for sustainability, advocating for the widespread adoption of pioneering best practices within our industries.

As an industry leader, we recognize our responsibility to elevate sustainability standards across all sectors in which we do business. By advocating for industry harmonization of methods and values and verification of results and claims, we play a central role in providing certainty and standardisation while encouraging collaboration and shared best practices. Our goal is to cultivate a culture of sustainability in which partners and peers across the value chain feel empowered to make meaningful changes.

Through our membership of Together for Sustainability (TfS) and subscribing to the principles of the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi), we are aligning our goals with science-based methodologies, promoting standards for others to follow.

By cooperating in the TfS initiative, we seek to jointly harmonize supplier assessments and audits around the world, to promote the responsible procurement of goods and services.

Breaking new ground

Collaboration is essential for improved performance and positive change so we cultivate a collaborative environment where new ideas can emerge and thrive. By embracing collaboration, we ignite transformative breakthroughs that challenge the status quo and redefine what's possible. By fostering open partnerships, we enhance sustainable practices and accelerate the pace of progress.

By particpating in the European Federation for Cosmetic Ingredients (EFfCI) and the De-inking Consortium, we are able to engage in dialogue that drives sustainability, support policy development, and help minimize the sector's environmental impact.
