Sustainability
At Foresa we work under the premise of sustainable chemistry.
We know that chemistry is essential to offer innovative solutions in multiple application sectors. But it is also essential to ensure an environmentally responsible present and future, both economically and socially. That is why our strategy focuses on integrating environmentally responsible practices at every stage of our value chain, from research and product development to the management of our industrial processes.
The concept of “Responsible Chemistry” that we apply goes further and drives us towards continuous improvement and innovation, aimed at reducing the environmental impact of our operations and developing solutions that respond to the challenges of a circular economy, being an active member of national and European associations, which allows us to participate in high-impact collaborative initiatives in the chemical industry. Through these partnerships, we contribute to the advancement of sustainable practices, with the aim of offering more efficient products with a smaller environmental footprint.
As part of our philosophy of continuous improvement, we are a member of the Responsible Care programme, a global chemical industry initiative that promotes
safe and responsible practices. Our commitment encompasses not only environmental sustainability, but also the safety of our operations, the well-being of our employees and the communities in which we operate.
