Textile chemicals specialist Archroma has expanded its commitment to sustainable development by joining the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) corporate social responsibility initiative.
Archroma joins more than 9,500 participating companies from 160 countries in the UNGC platform, which calls on companies to align their operations and strategies with ten universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption.
As a signatory Archroma formally pledges to support and promote the UNGC principles, which it says are fully aligned with its sustainability policy and code of conduct.
Archroma has already introduced several innovations aiming to make textile or paper manufacturing more sustainable, such as its biomass-based EarthColors range or non-fluorinated Smartrepel water-repellent finish. It has also implemented resource-saving manufacturing processes at several of its production facilities, such as its zero discharge facility in Jamshoro, Pakistan.
“Archroma shares the UN Global Compact goal to contribute to a more stable and inclusive global market and help build prosperous and thriving societies,” says CEO Alexander Wessels. “We also believe that advancing the cause of sustainability is an ongoing effort, and that being a participant to the UN Global Compact will help us to walk further down this path and to convince those in our sphere of influence to join along.”
