Focused innovation for growth & sustainability

We strategically position ourselves in growth opportunities that create the highest value while driving sustainable progress. Our Sustainable Portfolio Management (SPM) framework ensures that environmental and social considerations are embedded into our business strategy, innovation pipeline, and product portfolio. With this approach, our innovation roadmap is designed to support sustainable solutions by 2030.

We actively invest in next-generation materials and biotechnology, expanding our portfolio with renewable and circular solutions. Recent acquisitions, such as Jin Young Bio in South Korea, which produces biomimetic natural ceramides for beauty care, and Azerys, a leader in natural rosemary extraction, highlight our commitment to reducing reliance on non-renewable resources and minimizing environmental impact.
