Sustainability at Grace
Tougher environmental standards and higher expectations for health and wellness are among the powerful global trends influencing customer growth. At Grace, we share this focus. We work to meet these demands for our customers and ourselves.
The value we deliver through customer-driven innovation is increasingly based on how we help our customers meet their sustainability goals. Grace products and technical services improve the efficiency of our customers' processes, reduce energy and water use, cut harmful emissions, conserve material inputs, and reduce waste. Our technologies enable our customers to make products that meet the toughest environmental standards or to reformulate products to address rising consumer and regulatory expectations for sustainability, human health, and safety.
Grace also delivers value through operating excellence, continually tracking progress toward our goals of no one hurt, nothing out of place, and no harm from our products. The discipline of continually improving the efficiency and performance of our manufacturing and integrated supply chain is deeply embedded in our culture and annual operating plans.
At the heart of all we do around the world are the people of Grace. We have a high-performance culture focused on creating value for our customers. This commitment to value creation extends to our other stakeholders. We are active members of the communities where we operate and remain committed to the highest standards of integrity and respect for our stakeholders and for one another.
