Involvement in the project
As a second step AN will in its own pilot plant demonstrate that it is possible to make cellulose ether (Bermocoll) based on a special grade of cellulose developed by Aditya Birla Domsjö and the EtCl derived in the project. Thereafter AN will validate the quality of the final product against their normal products.
Akzo Nobel sees with this project a possibility to secure the sourcing of a strategically important raw material. In addition the raw material will be derived from a carbohydrate that is originating from a renewable carbohydrate source which is completely in line with the company’s sustainability strategy.
You will see AkzoNobel innovation all around you. Our science is protecting the world’s most iconic buildings and landmarks. It is helping to keep buildings cool to conserve energy and saving shipping companies both money and carbon emissions by helping their vessels glide through the sea.
“We create everyday essentials to make people’s lives more liveable and inspiring.
Essential ingredients. Essential protection. Essential color”.
Our employees have a key role to play in our sustainability performance so we provide training on sustainability and include targets to strive for. This goes all the way up to the board where 30 percent of the conditional grant of shares is based on AkzoNobel’s performance in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices over a three-year period.
Nine billion people are expected to be sharing our planet by 2050; this, alongside the new middle class, even greater urbanization, the long-term constraints of natural resources and climate change raises many challenges and opportunities.
Sustainability is part of our core business, not separate. We have reflected this by integrating sustainability into our company strategy, objectives, core principles and values.
Find out more about how we manage sustainability. Welcome to Planet Possible. Our commitment to doing more with less.”
