Partnerships and alliances with academia, customers, peers and suppliers are important levers to achieve our vision.

UN SDG MATERIALITY SOLUTIONS OPERATIONS
SDG 13 - Climate action

 

High

We have the technologies needed to transform renewable electricity, biomass, and waste into green hydrogen, green ammonia, and zero-emission fuels and chemicals.

We have set a target of net-zero by 2040 across our value chain.

We seek to continuously strengthen our resilience to physical climate risks.

SDG 3 - Good health and well-being

 

High

Our catalysts reduce – and in some cases also eliminate - air emissions such as sulfur, SOx and NOx from industry, for the benefit of public health.

Our global operations involve potential safety risks for our employees, suppliers, customers, contractors and communities. We aspire to ‘Zero Harm’ and do not compromise on safety.

SDG 12 - Responsible consumption and production

 

High

Our carbon emission reduction technologies contribute to a more sustainable production of fuels and chemicals. We are also involved in converting used plastics to new plastics.

We work hard to ensure that our conduct is economically, environmentally, and socially sustainable.

SDG 7 - Affordable and clean energy

 

High

We have the technologies needed to transform renewable electricity into green hydrogen, green ammonia, and zero-emission fuels and chemicals.

We strive for absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emission reduction of 100% by 2030, which includes transitioning to renewable energy.

SDG 8 - Decent work and economic growth

 

Medium  

We contribute directly and indirectly to economic and community development through employment, taxes, working conditions, and donations.

We prioritize engagement with stakeholders who we impact through our operations.

SDG 11 - Sustainable cities and communities

 

High

Our catalysts and catalytic filters help minimize air emissions such as sulfur, SOx and NOx, for the benefit of public health.

We work hard to ensure that our conduct is economically, environmentally, and socially sustainable.

SDG 9 - Industry, innovation and infrastructure

 

High

Our 80 years of investment in R&D enables us to provide new, innovative solutions and technologies that increase the efficiency and sustainability of the chemical and fuel industries.

Topsoe annually reinvests 8-9% of its revenue in R&D. We actively contribute to knowledge generation and sharing through collaboration with universities and research institutions.

SDG 6 - Clean water and sanitation

 

Medium

 

We manage and reduce our water consumption, recycle and re-use where possible within our production processes, and clean wastewater before discharge to prevent potential water contamination.

SDG 14 - Life below water

 

Medium  

We have processes and systems in place to monitor and manage our environmental footprint incl. emissions control and prevention of environmental incidents.

SDG 15 - Life on land

 

Medium  

We have processes and systems in place to monitor and manage our environmental footprint, incl. emissions control and prevention of environmental incidents.
