Turning Ambition into Measurable Impact
Sustainability is not an add‑on to our business. It is the foundation of how we innovate, operate and partner with our customers.
At Diversey, we believe sustainability only succeeds when it delivers real, measurable value — for people, for the planet and for business.
That is why we have embedded sustainability at the heart of our corporate strategy, our innovation pipeline and our customer solutions. Together with our customers, we are turning sustainability ambition into practical action and measurable outcomes.
A Force for Sustainable Change
Climate change, resource scarcity and growing social expectations are reshaping the way organizations operate. Sustainability is no longer a “nice to have” — it is a business imperative.
Our ambition is clear: to be a force for sustainable change.
Not through promises, but through solutions that reduce environmental impact, improve safety and efficiency, and create long‑term value.
From reducing water and energy use to cutting plastic waste and improving chemical safety, every innovation we develop is designed to support responsible cleaning — today and into the future.

Our Sustainability Strategy: ESG+C™
Our sustainability approach is built on ESG+C™ — a holistic framework that integrates:
- Environmental responsibility
- Social impact
- Governance and transparency
- Customers as a central pillar
We believe sustainability only works when customers are part of the solution. By partnering closely with our customers, we help them reach their sustainability goals while strengthening their operations, compliance and brand reputation.
This framework guides every decision we make — from product design to operations and innovation.
Sustainability at the Core of Innovation
Sustainability goals actively drive our innovation process.
Nearly every innovation we bring to market is designed to reduce environmental impact while maintaining or improving performance.
Our innovation approach is:
- Customer‑centric — built around real customer needs and outcomes
- Science‑based — aligned with credible targets and third‑party standards
- Impact‑focused — designed to deliver measurable sustainability results
This ensures our innovations don’t just look sustainable, but perform sustainably in real‑world operations.
Responsible Cleaning: Our Sustainability Framework
We call our approach Responsible Cleaning — a holistic way of looking at the full impact of cleaning, beyond hygiene performance alone.

Responsible Cleaning connects four sustainability pillars:
Greener Formulations
We develop safer, more sustainable chemistry using renewable, biodegradable and plant‑based ingredients wherever possible — while eliminating substances of concern ahead of regulation.
Greener Packaging & Materials
We design packaging for circularity: reducing plastic, increasing recyclability, using recycled materials and introducing plastic‑free solutions where possible.
Greener Certificates
Our solutions are validated by independent third‑party certifications such as EU Ecolabel, Nordic Swan and Cradle to Cradle — ensuring credibility, transparency and trust.
Greener Operations
We help customers reduce water, energy, chemical use and waste during daily operations — delivering lower environmental impact and lower operational costs at the same time.
Together, these pillars transform sustainability from a concept into practical, scalable solutions.
Creating Value Through Sustainable Innovation
Our sustainable innovations are designed to deliver value across four key customer drivers:
- Increase operational efficiency
- Improve sustainability outcomes
- Deliver optimal hygiene and safety
- Elevate the customer experience
Sustainability is not a trade‑off. It is a driver of better performance, lower risk and stronger customer trust.
Beyond Products: Creating Shared Value
Sustainability is also about social impact. Through our Creating Shared Value (CSV) programs, we work with customers to turn waste into opportunity:
- Soap for Hope™ – repurposing discarded hotel soap into hygienic bars
- Linens for Life™ – transforming used textiles into valuable products
- Other circular initiatives that reduce waste while empowering communities
These programs show how sustainability can improve lives, support communities and reduce environmental impact — all at once.
