Innovation
What lies between good ideas and real innovations? Greater chemistry.
At Clariant, innovative chemistry is a key dimension driving our purpose, ‘Greater chemistry – between people and planet’. We understand that the world is evolving rapidly, and we are dedicated to leading the charge in three critical arenas of innovation: Energy Transition, Health and Sustainability-Conscious Consumers, and Circularity. These megatrends are reshaping industries and redefining possibilities, and Clariant is at the forefront, delivering cutting-edge solutions that meet the needs of today while ensuring a better tomorrow.
Health- and sustainability-conscious consumers and brands
Increased awareness of societal, environmental, and health issues behind purchases among consumers and brand owners.
Consumers today are more aware of the societal, environmental, and health impacts of their purchases. Millennials and Gen Z are driving demand for sustainable products and greater transparency. Health considerations are also on the rise, especially as baby boomers enter retirement with better health and a more active lifestyle than previous generations. This shift is expected to increase demand for products that promote wellness and help maintain a youthful appearance.
In addition to end consumers, brands are increasingly prioritizing sustainability in their purchasing decisions, aligning choices with their own commitments to sustainable practices. By focusing on innovations that reflect these values, we are developing solutions tailored for the healthcare and personal care industries.
Energy transition
From decarbonizing hard-to-abate industries to driving the growth of hydrogen and renewable energy.
The energy transition is the most significant lever for reducing global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, with energy generation accounting for 73% of all GHG emissions worldwide. Clariant is well-positioned to support this transition with innovative solutions. Our efforts focus on decarbonizing today's hard-to-abate industries like steel production and transportation, scaling efficient hydrogen production, and promoting the adoption of tomorrow's renewable energy sources—all of which will drive progress through 2030 and beyond.
Circularity
Industries shifting towards renewable and recycled materials, driven by brand commitments, customer demand, and regulatory mandates.
Circularity is becoming essential as industries shift toward renewable and recycled materials, driven by brand commitments, customer demand, and regulatory mandates. With over 60 countries banning single-use plastics and the EU intensifying recycled content requirements, Clariant aims to lead this shift by providing solutions that support customers’ sustainability goals, including reducing Scope 3 emissions.
