Azelis, a leading innovation service provider in specialty chemicals and food ingredients, proudly announces the launch of its new sustainability program, Impact 2030. This initiative marks a significant advancement in Azelis’ commitment to driving sustainable innovation and creating positive impacts across the industry.
The program broadens the scope to include full-scale and SBTi-guided emission reduction targets
Customers will be able to make better choices with more product transparency
Principals will accelerate the execution of their own sustainability strategies
With a proven track record of sustainability best practices and achievements, Azelis’ first sustainability program, Action 2025, initiated in 2021, laid a strong foundation for its ongoing commitment to delivering sustainable innovations to customers. With goals met ahead of schedule, an even more ambitious program was designed to bring more transparency to customers beyond the scope of its own operations: Impact 2030. This new program represents a pivotal step in Azelis’ strategy, for which sustainability is a key accelerator for growth and leadership, together with innovation and digitalization.
Impact 2030 is structured around four key pillars: Portfolio, Environment, People, and Governance. Each pillar features specific goals and key performance indicators (KPIs) that contribute to selected United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This comprehensive approach ensures that Azelis remains at the forefront of sustainable innovation, driving positive impacts for customers and the broader industry and enabling principals to execute their sustainability strategies more effectively. A more detailed explanation of the program will be provided in Azelis’ Integrated Report for 2024, which will be published on March 6, 2025.
Michael Heite, Azelis’ Group Sustainability Director, comments:
“Our Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions targets were already achieved in 2022, three years ahead of schedule. Carbon intensity has been reduced by 33.2% compared to the 2019 baseline, surpassing our initial target of 25%. After ‘taking action,’ it’s time to create a positive impact for our stakeholders and look forward to the value the ambitious goals set with Impact 2030 will bring to them.”
Impact 2030 will oversee all three carbon emission scopes with ambitious reduction targets and a commitment to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). It will also include a Portfolio Sustainability Assessment (PSA) providing transparency around sustainable products and solutions and extend the company’s sustainability focus to include sustainable procurement programs as well as sustainable solutions for customers. By embedding sustainability into all aspects of its operations, Azelis enhances its ability to deliver value to customers seeking sustainable solutions. This customer-centric approach strengthens Azelis’ leadership in the industry and sets a benchmark for sustainable practices.
