Climate change
Rises in global temperatures are a problem we need to tackle as an international community. At AB Enzymes, we’re interrogating our processes to improve resource efficiencies and reduce our use of materials. Climate change will directly and significantly impact our operations and the wider world without action. We need reliable access to water, a resilient supply chain of raw materials, and predictable weather patterns to protect our economic success.
Respecting the environment
Our enzymes are a significant driver for widespread positive change because they allow our customers to manufacture products more resource-efficiently and create better products for the world than without them. However, we don’t ignore the environmental impact of their creation. To help guide us, we're committed to our six Environmental Essentials. It's a set of pledges that not only ensure we comply with laws and regulations but proactively look for ways to improve and reverse potential damage. We’re doing this through technological advances, collaboration and training.
Carbon management
It’s widely understood that greenhouse gases (GHG), such as carbon dioxide, are causing damage to the world. We have a part to play in the global movement to drive down emissions. We're ambitious in the reductions we want to achieve and are working on product and operational footprints to identify where we need to focus on activity to drive down GHG emissions.
To align with SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) and SDG 13 (Climate Action), we have analysed our products’ carbon footprints and highlighted how using these products can reduce energy use and lower the generation of emissions.
