Decarbonization Plan
Environmental management at Kao Chemicals Europe is directly determined by our corporate philosophy and strategies, which in turn are based on programmes such as Responsible Care.
Also integrated into Kao Chemicals Europe’s environmental management is compliance with each country's legislation, as well as the pacts and programmes of each region, such as the European Green Deal.
Finally, each Kao Chemicals Europe company incorporates the requirements derived from the internal commitments assumed with the local communities, as applicable, and those of any voluntarily adopted certifications, such as ISO 14001, EMAS or ISO 50001, depending on the company
Kao Chemicals Europe’s environmental management focuses on the activity itself, society and the environment, placing emphasis on the entire life cycle, from the inputs used, the processing technology, the energy consumed, the products manufactured, their sale and subsequent disposal.
