Croda hosts its first Digital Sustainability Conference

5-Aug-2020

The conference will be hosted on 9 - 10 September

Croda International Plc, who create, make and sell speciality chemicals that are relied on by industries and consumers everywhere will be hosting its first Digital Sustainability Conference - Sustainability requires a positive impact on September 9 - 10 2020.

Croda will host a two-day, global, digital experience, bringing together specialists, pioneers and professional market references to present and discuss how to create a more climate, land and people positive world.

Together, Croda, its speakers and attendees will explore how to implement, execute and accelerate a shared commitment to a more sustainable future.

The event will be segmented into five knowledge zones:

Sustainability at the Core: An approach about the Life Cycle analysis and the Sustainable Development Goals, including a panel discussion from industry-leading experts on ‘The Future of Sustainability in Personal Care’
What’s trending: How are sustainability initiatives influencing ideals and consumer demands? A closer look at trending topics, from ‘Clean Beauty’ to Waterless formulations with a look to the future through the Mintel perspectives and investigations
Navigating Certifications and Regulations: Explore with the industry experts how to navigate in the current regulatory landscape, and how certifications may enhance consumer appeal and offer novel opportunities for innovation within more sustainable ways
Formulating sustainably: Croda’s formulation experts will guide the participants through strategies such as minimising INCI lists, optimising product performance, and ‘clean’ sunscreens. In the interactive zones, exclusive video content will be available from our formulators around the world
Sourcing and supply chain: Being sustainable throughout the whole supply chain is essential to make a truly positive impact. Ingredient transparency, ethical sourcing and a roundtable panel discussion from thought leaders across the Personal Care and Palm Oil industries will be the core of this knowledge zone.

All content will be delivered through expert presentations, panel discussions, and videos. Virtual networking rooms will be available for idea exchange and making connections.

For Croda this movement has not just started, as sustainability is embedded in their strategic thinking and a crucial part of how they add value to their customers.

Most recently, Croda, in collaboration with the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership, developed its sustainability commitment for 2030 in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Croda’s sustainability commitment was officially announced earlier in 2020. In their commitment they state they will be the most sustainable supplier of innovative ingredients.

They will create, make and deliver solutions to tackle some of the biggest challenges the world is facing. By 2030, they will be climate, land and people positive.
