'Sustainability is at the heart of our strategy. We focus at reducing our climate impacts, accelerating circular economy, and managing water sustainably.

The sustainability transformation at Kemira is driven by science and data, and the new EcoVadis score reflects well our dedication and structured approach to sustainability' says Rasmus Pinomaa, Director, Corporate Sustainability.
Already for decades, Kemira enables customers from water intensive industries to operate more sustainably. More than half of Kemira's revenue comes from products and solutions that improve resource efficiency in the customer's process. Moving ahead, our sustainability transformation aims also at reducing Kemira's own manufacturing footprint, and at the same time further improving the impact of our products, by focusing on research & development and improving the customer experience.
