It’s the recent rock and roll. It’s the hot black. Sustainability is fashionable, and never simply between hipsters and pa stars. The uncool chemical region helped pioneer it, and this present day, businesses in and out the field have embraced it. yet what have they embraced? absolutely now not the Brundtland definition of assembly “the wishes of the current with out compromising the power of destiny generations to satisfy their very own needs.”

Sustainability describes a metamorphosis within the chemical industry’s method of the exterior international: to regulators, to vegetables, to buddies, to traders and to most people.

A rebranding of regulatory compliance and danger administration, with the emphasis on their merits to stakeholders
Recognition (and even social gathering) of the possibilities, not only the prices, of environmental and social protection

The middle of this publication is a survey of the world’s 29 biggest chemical businesses: how they positioned sustainability into motion (six of the 29 do not), and the six ‘sustainability manufacturers’ they've got created. It starts off with a background of stakeholders clash, ahead of taking a look at a number of definitions of sustainability – by way of lecturers, through the general public and via traders. After the survey and research, the ebook covers sustainability and ‘greenwash’ plus the ROI of sustainability, and it offers 5 recommendations.
