Sustainability

Dear Stakeholders,

In 2024, Arxada demonstrated the power of a purpose-driven organization to deliver value and positively influence the way our business is conducted. Our annual sustainability report – The Power of Science & Sustainability – is a great opportunity to highlight the progress we are making on our sustainability journey, innovating to address global trends and drive meaningful change for both Arxada and our valued partners. 

First, we are proud to share that Arxada was awarded the EcoVadis Silver Medal in recognition of our performance across environmental, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement practices. This achievement places us among the top nine percent of companies evaluated by EcoVadis and reflects our ongoing pursuit of excellence. 

We also launched EcoArx, our sustainable procurement initiative, which strengthens supply chain resilience and ensures responsible sourcing. As a cornerstone of our broader sustainability strategy, EcoArx reinforces our values of transparency, ethical practices, and environmental stewardship. 

At the heart of our mission is a simple yet powerful idea: Innovative solutions that protect our world. Every day, often silently and behind the scenes, Arxada’s technologies help safeguard the things that matter most—from the wood in our homes and the hygiene of our environments to the longevity of everyday products. Our solutions are designed not only to perform but to preserve, ensuring that what we rely on today remains more sustainable for tomorrow. 

Whether enhancing hygiene and infection prevention with Quanticare®, delivering long-lasting protection in agriculture and animal health with PeraGuard® AH, enabling performance and sustainability in materials through Polyboost®, or preserving wood products as a sustainable alternative to industrial timbers with Tanasote®, we are delivering solutions that empower our customers to meet their own sustainability goals. 

Our sustainable product innovation pipeline continues to expand, with strong alignment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as we strive to improve human health – particularly SDG 3: Good Heath and Well Being, focused on hygiene, disinfection, safer ingredients and safer food supply, SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure – building resilient infrastructure and fostering innovation through advanced technologies and sustainable chemistry and SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production – improving resource efficiency, reducing waste, and promoting circular economy practices.

Our progress is driven by the talent and dedication of our 3,400 associates worldwide. We strive to provide a work environment that prioritizes safety above all else, while our behaviors guide collaboration and innovation. We are cultivating a culture that celebrates diversity and recognizes how our differences help us deliver better solutions to our customers while serving the communities where we operate. 

Looking ahead, we are enthusiastic about continuing our journey toward positive change—both within our organization and on a global scale. With a focus on innovation and sustainability, we are confident in our ability to drive meaningful progress and help create a more sustainable future for generations to come.

Many thanks,
