Sustainability Committee

Formed in 2020, our Sustainability Committee is chaired by our Chief Sustainability Officer and is a formal subcommittee of the Executive Committee. It has delegated authority to oversee the development, measurement and delivery of our KPIs across the three pillars of our sustainability strategy: Climate, Land and People, supported by our Fundamentals, as well as overseeing employee engagement and training in sustainability.

It comprises members of the Executive Committee and senior leaders from across Croda, with each member responsible for delivering specific 2030 targets. Expert advice and support are provided by the Group Sustainability team and third-party partners.  In 2023 the Sustainability Committee met five times.

Supporting strategic sustainability

The Sustainability Committee plays a crucial role in driving accountability and ensuring alignment with Croda’s 2030 goals. By fostering collaboration across teams and regions, the Committee integrates sustainability considerations into decision-making at every level of the organisation.

In addition to monitoring progress on key performance indicators, the Committee champions innovation and partnership to address emerging global challenges. This includes staying ahead of regulatory changes, driving advancements in sustainable technologies, and fostering a culture where sustainability is deeply embedded into the mindset of all employees.

Looking ahead

As Croda continues its sustainability journey, the Sustainability Committee remains pivotal in shaping our approach to addressing climate change, protecting biodiversity, and advancing social equity. With its proactive leadership, we are confident in our ability to meet the evolving expectations of our stakeholders while delivering long-term value for both people and the planet.
