Caring deeply. Leading 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.
We support the UN Sustainable Development Goals and are a signatory of the UN Global Compact and the Responsible Global Care Charter. Our strategy focuses on reducing risk, improving transparency and creating opportunities for all stakeholders. With a global EcoVadis Gold rating at Group level and 13 Platinum-rated entities, we are proud of our ESG progress and remain committed to continuous improvement.
Product stewardship through smart innovation
We help customers and suppliers advance their decarbonization goals through products made with responsibly sourced materials, including bio-based ingredients and specialty chemicals. Many of our 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 2024, we strengthened our safety first culture by launching our behavior-based safety program globally. We promote belonging through diversity and allyship training, and support personal growth through development programs, 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 water reuse. 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.
