Our Approach

Our roadmap
Sun Chemical is taking a phased approach to our sustainability effort and is using a roadmap to improve the eco-efficiency of our products and processes. 

For our processes, we will:

• Set improvement targets for energy and water consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and solid waste emissions.
• Measure and report these parameters, regularly, by site and by product.
• Establish actions to improve, then re-check and re-measure.

For our products, we have:

• A structured and robust approach to product development that includes risk management and eco-efficiency improvements as key criteria.
• An infrastructure for product stewardship that leads the industry.
• Proactive approach in working with suppliers, customers, and industry trade groups to promote best practices.

Our key sustainability metrics

We are challenging ourselves internally to look for ways we can improve our processes at individual sites by monitoring key metrics to understand and manage our environmental impact. We will regularly report on the following parameters:

Internal Key Sustainability Metrics

• Energy consumption/conservation (Production Sites)
• Energy consumption/conservation (Non-Production Sites)
• Energy carbon footprint (Production Sites)
• Process waste reduction
• Waste consumption
• Material safety
