Letter from the Chairman

I am extremely proud to be the chairman of Petroglobe, our strategy focuses in different areas ;

Improving Lives

We improve lives by drastically reducing Health & Safety risks in the workplace, as well as the long term illnesses caused by many common chemicals. We free workers from worry, and reduce the need for personal protective equipment, making people healthier, happier and more productive. Petroglobe chemistries

Improving Business

Reducing risk is an integral part of business. Petroglobe chemistries reduce Health & Safety risks, and WHS and environmental compliance costs. Safer chemicals mean easier and more efficient handling which increases productivity, boosts morale, reduces waste and enhances public image through positive initiatives. also look after the environment and are as gentle on the planet as they are on humans

Improving Innovation

Safer chemicals doesn’t mean lower performance; in fact in most cases Petroglobe substitutes are actually more effective than the toxic chemicals they replace. Because they are safer and more targeted in their action, our chemistries open up completely new applications for forward thinking organizations.

I am occasionally asked: Can a chemical company really be sustainable? It often comes out in the course of the conversation that many people equate “sustainable” with “environmentally friendly.” In fact, this is only one part of sustainability. Sustainability also encompasses economic and social aspects, making it much more complex.

How does chemistry help people and the environment?

With our corporate purpose, “We create chemistry for a sustainable future,” we express what Petroglobe stands for. Both with and for our customers, we develop and produce new products and solutions for a growing world population while conserving our resources as much as possible. Science, research and development are needed – and chemistry has to take on this responsibility, as it supplies almost all sectors of industry.

We are also already producing products from renewable resources, although with a discerning eye: Not everything that regrows is also sustainable. We want to increase the proportion of renewable raw materials, where feasible. This means developing new methods and then taking them from the laboratory to production. One example is a technology from the American company, EPECO.USA, for producing potable water from agricultural waste or waste water . We are working closely together to continue developing this method.

Through this, we aim to continue generating even more attractive returns for you as a strategic partner . The entire Petroglobe team stands behind this goal.
