🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ 6 teams. 24 runners. And one shared finish line! 🌧️ Rainy skies, last-minute changes, and a few unexpected challenges along the way… But it takes more than that to stop our #RealPeopleofClariant! With illness threatening to leave some teams short of runners, colleagues stepped in at short notice, some even traveling from abroad to make sure all six teams could take on the Frankfurt Marathon Relay 2026! 🙌 From the first kilometers in the rain to the final steps on Frankfurt’s iconic red carpet, every kilometer was a team effort. All six teams made it to the finish line, proving once again that team spirit goes a long way! 🏅 👏 Congratulations to our 24 runners for staying active, supporting one another, and bringing #GreaterChemistry to life, on and off the track!

At the 12th ICIS Asian Surfactants Conference in Kuala Lumpur, #Clariant’s Nitin Nandurkar, Head of R&D India for our Business Unit Care Chemicals, shared his perspective on “𝘊𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘺 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘯 – 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘹𝘵 𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘴𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘴.” Highlighting Clariant’s VITA range and Glucamide family, Nitin showcased how #biobased solutions can combine sustainability with the performance required for #PersonalCare & #HomeCare applications. 💆🏻‍♀️🫧 Made from renewable, plant-based feedstocks, our VITA surfactants are 100% bio-based and fully segregated. Our sugar-based Glucamides, including GlucoTain for personal care and GlucoPure for home care, are sulfate-free, EO-free and readily #biodegradable, while delivering effective cleansing and foaming performance. With an RCI above 95% for VITA and above 93% for our Glucamides, both ranges have a high share of renewable carbon. In practical terms, this means replacing fossil-based carbon with renewable alternatives, helping customers lower the carbon footprint of their products and reduce Scope 3 emissions. Nitin also joined the panel “𝘚𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘤𝘬𝘴,” where he emphasized that moving toward bio-based and net-zero surfactants is about more than switching molecules. "𝘐𝘵 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘺, 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘤𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘪𝘯." #GreaterChemistry

🌱 Since 2023, we've been working alongside Associação Ambientalista Copaíba through the Araçá Project in Brazil, supporting forest restoration and environmental education. And that journey continues! Recently, another group of our #RealPeopleofClariant visited our partner to experience the restoration process firsthand, planting seeds and walking through a restored forest area where they could see how years of care can help nature grow back. 🌳 Our partnership is also opening new doors. With support from the Clariant Foundation, a new educational facility is expected to welcome around 2,000 students and employees, helping more people learn about and connect with nature. And there's another exciting step ahead: planting of the Clariant Forest is planned to begin this year! It's through partnerships like these, and the people who bring them to life, that we create #GreaterChemistry – between people and planet. 💚

🌱 #ResponsibleMining goes beyond extracting minerals safely and efficiently. It also means caring for the land and planning for its future from the very beginning. At one of our mining operations in Mexico, we've restored 1.2 hectares of previously mined land and released it for cultivation, reducing our active mining footprint and returning the area to productive use while operations continue. Because restoring the land shouldn't have to wait until mining ends. 🌿 Our team is also exploring new ways to make restoration more effective. A first pilot using #biodegradable coir matting has shown promising results in stabilizing slopes and supporting revegetation, with potential to replicate this approach at other mining sites. And the work continues, with another 0.5 hectares planned for restoration in 2027. This is how we bring our purpose of #GreaterChemistry – between people and planet to life: through responsible decisions and meaningful actions that consider not only what we extract, but also what we leave behind. 𖠋𖠋🌍

💧 Is your moisture protection strategy really as strong as you think? Choosing the right #desiccant is crucial – but how you store and handle it before it enters the package can make or break its performance. Every second a desiccant is exposed to open air equals moisture capacity that can never be recovered. At Clariant, our experts break down the key mistakes to avoid in #MoistureProtection, how to select the right desiccant for your environment – whether Desi Pak, Sorb-It, or Tri-Sorb – and exactly how much you need to keep your products protected. 📖 Read our latest blog and discover the best practices for safeguarding your product from the inside out: brnw.ch/21x6xea #GreaterChemistry
