Novamont Sustainability Report 2018

The Sustainability Report is the way we present ourselves to internal and external stakeholders through our commitments, strategy, management approach and the results of our corporate activity, broken down into its three main elements: economic, environmental and social.

improving the technical and environmental performance of our products by increasing the amount of renewable raw materials contained in them;
the constant involvement of and close collaboration with the company’s key stakeholders.
