Responsibility at POLYVANTIS

At POLYVANTIS, sustainability is not a separate initiative. It is fundamental to how we design, manufacture, and deliver our high-performance film and sheet solutions. Our sustainability strategy focuses on creating lasting value for our customers, society, and the environment.

Built on two strong industrial legacies, we combine decades of materials expertise with a clear ambition to become the most trusted and innovative film and sheet supplier in the world, guided by strong ethics and responsible decision-making.

We prioritize resource efficiency in the production of our semi-finished PLEXIGLAS® and ACRYLITE® acrylic and LEXAN™ polycarbonate film and sheet products, leveraging innovative technologies and streamlined processes to reduce natural resource consumption and lower greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, we offer products made from recycled and post-consumer materials, helping to establish circularity for plastics.

On top of that, we emphasize the longevity of our products. By designing durable sheets, films, tubes, and rods, we ensure they perform reliably over time, reducing waste and the need for new raw materials.

Our materials enable durability, lightweight performance, and circularity across critical applications, including infrastructure, mobility, healthcare, and electronics. When our products reach the end of their lifespan, they can be recycled, contributing to a circular economy. POLYVANTIS materials and solutions help reduce environmental impact across the full product lifecycle.

Our commitment to sustainability extends equally to the people behind our products. We are dedicated to maintaining safe, inclusive, diverse, and respectful workplaces across all our sites. We provide fair and competitive compensation globally and invest in our employees' growth by offering continuous learning opportunities. We promote integrity, transparency, and accountability at every level of leadership. Our procurement standards reflect these values, ensuring that responsible practices extend across our entire supply chain.
We are convinced that our environmental, social and governance commitments are essential for long-term business success.

POLYVANTIS ESG Approach

Our ESG strategy is built on three focus areas:

At the center of this strategy are our people, leadership, and governance. Strong ethics, safe and inclusive workplaces, and responsible decision-making ensure sustainability is embedded in how we operate every day.

Our approach is shaped by ongoing engagement with customers, suppliers, and communities, and guided by our Double Materiality Analysis to focus on what matters most.
