In addition to energy saving initiatives, Sederma and Crodarom are aiding a global reduction in carbon emissions by working with ClimateCare to support a project that protects the environment and improves people’s lives in the Rimba Raya area of Indonesia by funding community initiatives and forest protection.

In parallel, Sederma and Crodarom continue to identify risks and opportunities by managing impacts with specific actions on raw material sourcing, ‘green’ performance… all along their value chain and organisation. These principles are shared with their stakeholders with the aim of uniting them around sustainable values and encouraging them to adopt appropriate practices.
