Our work focuses on improving material efficiency, lowering dependence on high-emission inputs and strengthening process performance without compromising product quality or application benefits. During the year, we continued to improve the scattering efficiency of rutile-grade titanium dioxide, which helps reduce cradle-to-gate carbon footprint. We also advanced cementitious product development with a focus on lower carbon footprint and lower water demand. The resin synthesis and product development teams collaborated to reduce the solvent footprint in the enamel range. These efforts support resource efficiency, lower processing intensity and improved product performance across relevant categories.

Emerging sustainability-led product
development areas
During the year, newer areas were identified to further embed sustainability into product development and upgrades. These included improving dispersion efficiency through alternate processing routes, developing waterproofing solutions for high-damp surfaces and evaluating innovative grinding aids for clinker grinding to support lower-impact cementitious products.
Select initiatives have contributed to reduced processing time, lower water demand and energy savings, while supporting product performance and application reliability.
