In 2024, Clariant transitioned to a more comprehensive sustainability reporting framework to better serve evolving regulatory requirements and stakeholder expectations. In addition to the company’s longstanding reporting in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), and adherence to the Swiss Code of Obligations, the 2024 report now includes additional disclosures relevant for the new European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS).
‘Greater chemistry – between people and planet’, Clariant's purpose, entails four dimensions: Customer focus, Innovative chemistry, Leading in sustainability, and People engagement. The Integrated Report demonstrates how we have structured our organization around customer needs, developed sustainable innovations, and embedded our core values throughout our company culture.
This year also marks the last year of Günter von Au as Chairman of the Board of Directors, as he will not stand for reelection. The Board of Directors proposes Ben van Beurden as his successor to the AGM on 1 April 2025. “We made substantial progress in advancing our strategic initiatives and I am pleased to be able to report on exciting achievements regarding our operational excellence, profitability, and innovations that underscore our commitment to sustainable value creation,” said Günter von Au, Chairman of the Board of Directors. “From leveraging AI to enhance almost all areas of the business to increasing our scope 1, 2 and 3.1 emissions targets, from driving forward sustainability trends to collaborating with customers and partners on new product solutions: Clariant has demonstrated agility and innovation power. I leave the company poised for great things and look forward to watching its future successes.”
