Sustainability as part of CHT's DNA
The issue of sustainability has been anchored in the DNA of the internationally active foundation-owned group of companies for 70 years. No less an aspiration is derived from this than to support all customers with the most innovative, most sustainable products and solutions and thus to become the leading supplier of sustainable chemical products and solutions in all target markets.
Transparent communication
Open and transparent communication with all stakeholders, especially with customers and suppliers, is of crucial importance. This is illustrated first and foremost by the company's now updated and comprehensive sustainability reporting.
The current edition of CHT's annual sustainability report for the period January to December 2022 is now available in website format. The report is based on the GRI standards of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI).
Since 2015, the CHT Group has been using comprehensive sustainability reporting to document its ongoing successful transformation into a sustainable business group that is ideally prepared for the challenges of the EU Green Deal and mandatory ESG reporting.
The focus of the report is once again on climate reporting and the company's social responsibility within and along the supply and value chains.
"Climate neutrality" as a central field of action
In the implementation of the sustainability strategy of the CHT Group, the field of action "climate neutrality" takes a central role. The CHT Group has set itself the goal of being climate neutral both in its own production and in the supply chain from the year 2045. The path to climate neutrality by 2045 is illustrated in the report as part of the strategic goal.
