Product Stewardship
Our commitment to operational excellence extends beyond our manufacturing operations to our environmental policy. We continually seek to reduce our environmental footprint while striving to achieve a "balanced plant" - one where we completely convert all incoming raw materials to saleable products with the minimization of waste and by-product formation.
Chemical products provide many benefits to society, but they must be managed responsibly throughout their lifecycles to minimize any adverse effects. At SI Group, we work hard to ensure that our products are manufactured, stored, transported, used, disposed of, and recycled to safeguard the health and safety of the environment.
Commitment to Sustainable Innovation
As a leading global performance additives producer, we recognize that our products are critical to solving the world’s sustainability challenges.
We’re investing in our Research & Development capabilities to provide the facilities, tools, and talent to drive sustainable innovation. Based on our four pillars of sustainable product development, our new products and solutions are designed to improve the quality of life for future generations.
