Sustainability is still a premium
It takes extra effort to produce the responsible products we desire, as balancing our requirements is a highly complex process.
As a founding member of the “Together for Sustainability” (TfS) initiative, we implement a global supplier engagement program to shore up this effort. Since suppliers who do not comply with TfS criteria are not considered as business partners, we may face reduced flexibility and higher cost.
That’s a price we’re willing to pay.
Securing the demand
Improvements come at a price
While additional regulations reduce flexibility in the raw material market, responsible products offer additional business opportunities. The challenge is to secure the volume demand and make sustainability our shared business case.
