The Sustainable Solution

At Diversey, we believe that sustainability and a healthy bottom line can go hand-in-hand, because solutions that protect the environment are more profitable and good business practice. At the same time, they allow us to deliver on our responsibility to the wider community, a key component of the Diversey ethos.

“Our objectives have always extended beyond financial growth to include promoting the health and well being of our planet and the people who share it.” — S. Curtis Johnson, Chairman

Our Commitment to SustainabilityOur customers count on us to deliver excellent cleaning and sanitation results while optimizing their labor, water and energy use and cutting pollution emissions. This is enabled by our deep understanding of our industry and our customers’ operations.

Our product innovations and expert consulting services help our customers use water more efficiently. But we know much more needs to be done to address the world’s most critical conservancy issue. That’s why we made a four-year, $1 million grant to the World Wildlife Fund to establish the Global Water Roundtable. This group will take a pragmatic approach to addressing water stress, river pollution and declines in freshwater wildlife species.

Our company carries on a legacy in to understand and reduce our collective impact on the environment. Through our commitments to initiatives such as our Climate Savers covenant we signed, we agreed not only to reduce our own emission of greenhouse gases (GHC), but to be a catalyst toward change in the broader business community.
