Dear reader,
This year’s Sustainability Brochure reflects a strategic decision to focus our reporting exclusively on the environmental, social and governance matters that are most critical to the value creation at the CABB Group.
The reporting year has delivered measurable progress, leveraging the foundations established in 2024. We successfully finalized the validation of our near-term climate targets through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), underlining our commitment to continued, measured reductions in Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions until 2030. Our commitment to decarbonization is delivering tangible results in our operations: for example, our Gersthofen site in Germany achieved the “ISCC PLUS and ISCC EU RFNBO” certifications for low-carbon products and green hydrogen production. This marks a major milestone in transitioning to a low-carbon portfolio, including key products like monochloroacetic acid.
The dedication of our people is key to the success of our sustainable transformation. While employees’ safety remains a non-negotiable priority, we recognize that resilience is essential for navigating today’s increasingly complex environment. Therefore, in 2025, we kept improving the health and wellbeing of our employees by providing trainings on behavioral safety and implemented further efficiency projects in our production sites to reduce emissions and improve resilience of our business. In 2025, we achieved our mid-term CO2 reduction targets and we are well on track to deliver on our sustainability targets for 2030. Additionally, we have joined a strategic partnership with Origin by Ocean, a Finnish green chemicals company, to build a biorefinery in Finland, which will be the first in the world to commercialize and scale ingredients from invasive brown algae.
«Sustainability is a core value that shapes our culture and strengthens our resilience. This is why, at the CABB Group, we are committed to turning our intentions into actions and our goals into measurable, scientific results.»
Looking ahead, we will continue to prioritize process efficiency and maintain solid local production across our global operations, advocating for both domestic industry strength and a fair playing field by promoting global sustainability standards. By focusing intensely on material issues and fostering strong collaborations with our stakeholders, we remain committed to leading by example.
I invite you to explore the following pages to see how our teams have advanced the CABB Group’s Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) priorities and created tangible impact during 2025. For deep-dive technical information see the Annex to this Sustainability Brochure 2025 on our website.
Sincerely yours,
Tobias Schalow
CEO CABB Group
