Clariant’s purpose ‘Greater chemistry – between people and planet’ is based on key themes of Customer Focus, Innovative Chemistry, Leading in Sustainability and People Engagement. With this in mind, the Integrated Report answers the questions of how we place our customers at the heart of our organizational set-up, how we innovate for sustainability and how we root our values in our corporate culture.

“Transparency and access to key metrics beyond financials are vital to measure the health of a company long-term” said Günter von Au, Chairman of the Board of Directors. “The Integrated Report not only enables transparency but also delivers these key metrics in an attractive and accessible format.”

Clariant looks back on a year of record sales growth on top of which it has implemented a new operating model and decreased its greenhouse gas emissions across scope 1, 2 and 3. These achievements are proof points for a clearly defined strategy.

At the Annual General Meeting (AGM) on 4 April 2023, the Board of Directors will present the Integrated Report detailing the business developments for the year 2022 to the shareholders for approval.
