The car care market is evolving, with a growing emphasis on sustainability and efficiency. Innospec Performance Chemicals is at the forefront, providing innovative solutions to support this transition. Our approach to innovation for sustainable car care products is centred around three key pillars:

1. Renewable and mild surfactants: Our Aquanate range features ingredients that have low aquatic toxicity and skin irritation potential, enabling the development of user-friendly, high-performance vehicle cleaning solutions that rival the efficacy of traditional harsher alternatives.

2. Dried Products: By using our dried surfactants, we reduce the unnecessary transport of water and associated emissions, whilst also helping to extend a products shelf life.

3. Performance Concentrates & Formulated Systems: These solutions streamline the handling of materials, simplify blending, and minimize waste in transport and warehousing, improving efficiency and reducing the associated costs and carbon emissions.

This yearā€™s International Womenā€™s Day theme, #AccelerateAction, calls for increased progress in addressing gender inequality and acknowledging the resources and activities that positively impact womenā€™s advancement. At Innospec, we are committed to creating opportunities for female employees to excel in an industry that has been historically male dominated. Through comprehensive, personalised training and development, we support our female employees in advancing their careers.

A key initiative launched in 2024 is our Senior Leadership Development Program, designed to equip managers with the skills to lead more effectively. This program brought together 15 participants from three global regions, combining instructor-led sessions with post-training personal coaching for a deeper learning experience.

We are proud to foster an inclusive environment where all employees have the opportunity to grow and reach their full potential.

The end of 2024 marked the 5th anniversary of Action for Sustainable Derivatives (ASD), an industry-led platform uniting companies in the cosmetics, home care, personal care, and oleochemicals sectors to collectively tackle environmental and social supply chain challenges involving palm oil and palm kernel oil derivatives.

Innospec is proud to have been a member of ASD since 2020, collaborating with like-minded organizations to drive meaningful change in the palm industry. One of ASDā€™s key achievements has been to increase transparency in global supply chain mapping, tackling the complexity of a highly fragmented sector with numerous stakeholders. Thanks to the collective efforts of 36 ASD members, as a group we have achieved 95% transparency up to mills, mapping 1.2 million tons of palm-based material.

Weā€™re proud to contribute to this progress and remain committed to driving positive change in the sustainable sourcing of palm.
