Planet: the environmental dimension
DSM Business Principles on the environmental dimension:
- Choice of products and production processes – In deciding what products we want to make, what production processes we want to use and what new technologies we want to develop, we are guided by our commitment to sustainability and safety, and we take public opinion seriously into account.
- Continuous improvement - We continually evaluate and improve our products, working methods, production processes and services in order to make sure they are safe and acceptable from the point of view of our employees, our customers and other stakeholders.
- Energy and raw materials - We make an ongoing effort to minimize the use of raw materials and energy.
- Product Stewardship - In accordance with the principles of product stewardship, we identify the risks and environmental impact attached to our products during our production processes as well as during their entire lifecycle and look for opportunities to reduce these. In this context, we share relevant knowledge, expertise and experience with our suppliers, customers and other parties.
- Information - We provide our customers and the general public with clear information about the environmental and safety aspects of our products and production processes.
