Sustainable Solutions

IMCD promotes Sustainable Solutions on the market when it champions the journey of its suppliers and de-complexifies the market and the sustainability landscape for its customers.
As a global leader in speciality chemicals and ingredients distribution, IMCD recognises the central role the chemicals industry plays in shaping a more sustainable and climate-resilient economy. In this context, we play an active role in promoting sustainable solutions on the market. These solutions help address societal challenges arising from the growing impacts of climate change and raw material scarcity, while supporting ethical value chains, human well‑being, and the transition towards more responsible and resilient markets, in line with evolving performance, regulatory and market demands. 
IMCD brings product know-how, market intelligence, sustainability expertise and a network of application laboratories. Through our Sustainable Solutions Programme, we combine these pillars into a one-stop resource, with solutions organised into categories that reflect specific market needs.  In addition, we leverage our global network of more than 86 application laboratories to contribute to achieving sustainability goals. Our Technical teams analyse market trends and new possible formulations, share their technical expertise and application knowledge to support sustainable innovations. 

Ultimately, recognising our role within the value chain, we aim to create lasting value and sustainability impact by cooperating closely with both customers and principal suppliers on responsible and high-performance product portfolios.

Global IMCD Sustainable Solutions Framework Programme

Our commercial teams and technical experts have been promoting more sustainable products and formulations across all eight Business Groups. We streamlined and aligned this approach within the Global IMCD Sustainable Solutions Framework Programme. The 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 shows our added value as an expert, co-innovator, and market influencer. 

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

Customers

At IMCD, we are committed to taking our customers' sustainability challenges and working toward solving them. Whether the priority is CO2 reduction, recyclability or any other challenge, together, we can explore all the sustainable possibilities in one place, at one time. Sustainable Solutions makes it easy for our customers to know where to start with their sustainability goals and educate themselves on the core sustainability trends. We are then there to provide the consulting they need when making decisions and the technical support when implementing new solutions. 

Principals

Sustainable Solutions allows us to consistently market the value our principals' sustainable materials bring to our customers and increase the visibility of their materials around the world. With a one-stop resource for information, we can strategically align with our principals' sustainability goals and best position their materials to our customers. 

IMCD teams

Sustainable Solution provides a global overview of our principal's sustainable materials, making it easy for our teams to explore what is possible for their customers. Our information hub offers direct access to a complete list of supplier materials, the latest regulations, educational content, and more. Additionally, in standardising what sustainable solutions we offer, we can identify gaps in our principal offerings and prioritise opportunities for the growth of our business.
