Sustainability at Master Builders Solutions

OVERVIEW

Master Builders Solutions combines the three pillars of sustainability - economic success, environmental protection and social responsibility. This is summed up in our corporate purpose: “We create chemistry for a sustainable future.”

ECONOMIC SUCCESS

Master Builders Solutions is passionate about research and new ideas that form the starting point for developing the products and solutions by which we help to meet the current and future needs of society worldwide. Acting sustainably is of utmost importance to ensure our long-term business success.

ENVIRONMENTIAL PROTECTION

Master Builders Solutions aims to use natural resources as sparingly as possible. We support our customers in balancing envi-ronmental, social and economic interests. For this, we use independently proven scientific methods such as the Eco-Efficiency Analysis and Sustainable Solution Steering.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Master Builders Solutions are working every day to minimize risks to our employees, the environment and our customers. We base our efforts on globally uniform standards for the environment, safety, health protection, product stew-ardship and compliance, as well as for labour and social standards. Openness, and a constant exchange with colleagues, customers, suppliers and shareholders, as well as experts from science, economy and the media, are particularly important to us.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Master Builders Solutions are committed to sustainable development, economic competitiveness and leading environmental, health and safety (EHS) performance. We act responsibly as an integral part of society; we adhere to regulations and compliance standards and never compromise on safety.

Product Stewardship: We evaluate our products and raw materials and promote their safe and environmentally sound development, manufacture, transport, use and disposal.
Transport and Distribution Safety: We control the risks in the transportation and storage of our raw materials and products.
Occupational Health and Safety: We protect the health and safety of employees, visitors, contractors and neighbouring communities by assessing hazards/risks and by operating a management system to control those hazzards/risks.
Process Safety: We design, operate and maintain our plants for safe operation and for the prevention of fires, explosions, accidental releases and other hazards to people, the environment and surrounding locations.
Environmental Protection: We protect the environment by monitoring waste production and emissions to air and water and by seeking ways to reduce waste and the environmental impact of its emissions.
Communication: We value open and factual dialog on Responsible Care as a means to build partnerships with customers, employees and, where appropriate, neighbouring communities.
Security: We plan and act to protect people, property, products, processes, information protection and information systems by enhancing security against all types of internal and external crime, sabotage and terrorism.
Energy: We monitor the use of energy in our business activities and take steps to improve energy efficiency.
