Envalior has published its second sustainability report, covering calendar year 2025. In it, the company presents progress achieved in environmental, social and governance areas, as well as further alignment of its reporting scope with regulatory requirements. Among the most important results, it highlighted an increase in the use of renewable electricity, full Operation Clean Sweep Europe certification across all European sites, and a 50% reduction in recordable workplace accidents compared with 2024. The report also includes broader data coverage, clearer indicators and greater granularity in key areas, which, according to the company, is intended to increase the usefulness of the published information for decision-makers.
According to Envalior, the report reflects the importance of sustainability in the company’s strategy and shows how targeted actions translate into ESG progress. "Sustainability is not a separate agenda for us, it is how we run our business and is becoming a key driver of competitiveness and innovation. We see this as an opportunity to differentiate, to strengthen our position, and to build a business that is resilient and future-oriented. I am convinced that our ability to combine performance with responsibility will define our long-term success and that we will measure ourselves against clear targets and tangible outcomes," said Calum MacLean, CEO of Envalior.
Progress across the three strategic pillars
The 2025 report presents activities carried out under the three pillars of the Envalior CARES strategy, Low Carbon, Sustainable Resources and Social Responsibility. In the climate area, the company increased the share of renewable electricity to 62% in 2025. The company also reports further progress toward its goal of reducing Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 35% by 2030 compared with the 2024 level.
Among the measures supporting this goal, Envalior lists the development of engineering solutions for N2O abatement and electrode boiler concepts for the electrification of heating processes. At the same time, the company continues projects aimed at improving operational efficiency and reducing emissions across its global operations.
An important element of the report is also the development of product-level environmental reporting. In 2025, Envalior made life cycle assessments, LCA, available for most of its key materials. The company also states that the validity of the calculations underlying the LCAs of its base polymers was further confirmed through an external critical review conducted by TÜV SÜD, an international testing, inspection and certification organization.
According to the company, such product-level transparency delivers two effects. First, it makes it possible to identify the highest-emission areas in the supply chain and direct specific measures there to reduce environmental impact. Second, it is intended to support Envalior’s customers in more accurately determining the carbon impact of their own products, which can be used in sustainability reporting and sustainability strategies.
Feedstocks, safety and social policy
The report also describes further development of the initiatives previously presented in the 2024 edition. In the area of Sustainable Resources, the company continues to pursue its long-term goal of offering, by 2030, a full portfolio of alternatives based on bio-based and or recycled feedstocks. As an example, it pointed to circular grades such as Durethan M-XB PA6, which achieve up to 90% sustainable content.
Envalior also reports an expansion of secondary feedstock streams. These include additional inputs from mechanical and chemical recycling, including plastic waste and pyrolysis oil obtained from end-of-life tires.
Within the social responsibility pillar, the company points to the full achievement of OCS Europe certification across all six European sites. At the same time, the number of recordable work-related accidents fell by 50% compared with 2024. The employee engagement score increased to 78%, up four points year on year, with improvement across all analysed dimensions, including collaboration, inclusive culture, and safety and wellbeing.
The company also implemented a global living wage policy, intended to reinforce its commitment to fair compensation. As stated, it also strengthened its activities in the area of diversity, equity and inclusion through relevant policies, targeted training and inclusive recruitment practices.
Reporting and regulatory requirements
According to Envalior, the report is intended not only to serve a reporting function, but also to provide a roadmap for continuous improvement under the Envalior CARES strategy. The company states that the 2025 publication includes broader data coverage, clearer indicators and greater transparency in material areas.
This approach is also intended to support the company’s preparation for changing regulatory requirements, including the European Union’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, CSRD. According to the company, a rigorous reporting approach is also meant to help further embed sustainability into decision-making processes and support industrial transformation toward more sustainable operating models.
