Sun Chemical has released its 2017 Corporate Sustainability Report, detailing the company’s efforts to increase use of bio-derived raw materials in its products and the positive progress made on its eco-efficiency goals. 

 

Highlights from the report focus on Sun Chemical’s commitment to the development of eco-friendly solutions, including how:

“Sun Chemical is committed to doing its part to be a sustainable organization,” says Michael Simoni, global product stewardship leader, Sun Chemical. “We want to show our customers that we are continuously working with suppliers and challenging ourselves to improve the eco-efficiency of our processes and products. Our latest sustainability report shows a variety of exciting ways we’re increasing the use of bio-derived raw materials in our products.”

 

The report outlines Sun Chemical’s sustainability roadmap, which uses a phased approach to improve the eco-efficiency of each production and non-production facility’s processes and products by monitoring key metrics to understand and manage its environmental impact. Its internal key sustainability metrics measure: energy consumption/conservation, energy carbon footprint, process waste reduction, water consumption, material safety and employee safety.

 

“Improving our manufacturing processes from production to distribution helps Sun Chemical uphold its reputation for quality, service and innovation while improving sustainability practices for our customers,” says Gary Andrzejewski, corporate vice president, environmental affairs, Sun Chemical. “It is a critical component of our sustainability policy. Our commitment to sustainability drives us to provide our customers with meaningful data that they can use, and in turn help meet their environmental goals.”
