At Caldic, ESG is embedded in how we operate, innovate, and grow responsibly
At Caldic, sustainability is rooted in how we care, collaborate and grow. Our purpose - Because we care - guides our daily decisions and drives our commitment to long-term value creation. We are active across the life science and material science sectors, embedding ESG principles throughout our operations and culture.
Advancing sustainable performance through EcoVadis
EcoVadis assessments are part of our roadmap for continuous improvement. Caldic is one of the few global distributors to drive entity-level ESG performance across its rated network. Our ratings help prioritize action in areas like clean energy, responsible sourcing, and safe packaging. They inform how we invest in enhanced sustainable supply chain solutions and create shared value for customers, suppliers, and communities.
See our progress in action
Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in our daily operations, and documenting these actions provides us with significant insight into their outcomes. The Sustainability Report 2024 is an overview of the progress we have made in our decarbonization efforts, the strategies in place for further improvement, and how we integrate sustainable practices across the organization.
Product stewardship through smart innovation
We help customers and suppliers advance their decarbonization goals through products made with responsibly sourced materials, including bio-based, circular and upcycled ingredients. Many of our environment solutions use fewer resources, minimize the use of non-essential ingredients or require less water and energy to produce. We collaborate closely to develop smarter formulations that advance product innovation and support sustainable supply chain solutions.
Governance grounded in trust and ethics
Caldic’s governance framework promotes ethical conduct, clear accountability and strong oversight. From our global Code of Conduct and policies to our ESG risk management processes, we empower teams across every region to lead with integrity. We are transparent in our practices, committed to compliance and focused on responsible business growth.
A culture of care built around safety, inclusion and growth
Our people bring our values to life. Their safety and well-being are top priorities. In 2025, we strengthened our safety first culture by expanding our behavior-based safety program globally, e-learnings and practical exercises. We promote belonging through diversity and allyship training, and support personal growth through online learning platform and development programs, as well as open dialogue and inclusive leadership.
Because we care, sustainability lives in everything we do - from how we support our people to how we innovate for our customers and protect the planet we all share.
Managing resources, minimizing our environmental impact
We actively reduce emissions, conserve resources and track our progress through our global data management system. Our environmental strategy includes renewable energy use, recyclable packaging, waste reduction and upcycling. We also invest in energy-efficient systems, electric transport and clean manufacturing practices. These actions align with our HSE policy and reflect our commitment to sustainable supply chain solutions and environmental stewardship.
Because we care, we support our communities
We invest in communities where we operate, focusing on food security, clean water, education and local health programs. Our efforts are aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals and tailored to deliver long-term, meaningful impact. By working with local partners, we help build stronger, more resilient communities that benefit people and planet alike.
