Global IMCD Sustainable Solutions Framework Programme


Our commercial teams and technical experts have been promoting greener, healthier, and more sustainable products and formulations across all eight Business Groups for several years now. We streamlined and aligned this approach within the Global IMCD Sustainable Solutions Framework Programme. The new programme ensures that our Business Groups serve the needs of their respective markets while staying aligned to our overall approach to promoting sustainable products.

The IMCD Sustainable Solutions Framework is a key programme in our sustainability strategy. It demonstrates our added value as expert, co-innovator and market influencer. 

The programme benefits our customers, principal suppliers, and our teams
