Explore the CSDDD, Omnibus updates, and how to future-proof due diligence in a shifting EU compliance landscape.
How IntegrityNext Helps Chemicals Sustainability
Chemicals are fundamental building blocks of most consumer and industrial products, making them virtually indispensable in modern life. However, their manufacturing is highly resource- and energy-intensive, relying heavily on fossil fuel-based feedstocks. Throughout the value chain, the industry faces significant challenges, including pollution risks, safety hazards, and broader environmental concerns. These issues are driving increased efforts to transition to cleaner production methods and renewable raw materials.
We help you manage the key sustainability risks in your supply chain and unlock opportunities for greater efficiency, impact, and long-term value.
Chemicals Industry Leaders Trust IntegrityNext
We Understand & Solve Your Industry’s Challenges
Our solutions cover the topics most material to your industry, enabling you to meet legal requirements and boost sustainability performance.
Managing Environmental and Social Risks in Raw Material Sourcing
The chemical industry relies on high-risk raw materials like oil, natural gas, metals, and minerals, which are often linked to pollution, deforestation, and human rights violations. Supply chain sustainability software can help monitor sourcing practices, enforce due diligence, and mitigate risks related to resource extraction and community impacts.
Transitioning to Renewable Feedstocks
Shifting from fossil fuel-derived chemicals to renewable feedstocks like biomass and oils is a critical challenge. ESG tech solutions can support responsible procurement, monitor risks such as biodiversity loss and deforestation, and help companies align with sustainability goals while innovating for new markets.
Addressing Toxic Substances Across the Value Chain
The phase-out of harmful substances, driven by frameworks like the EU Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability or the TSCA in the United States, is essential for protecting human health and the environment. Advanced ESG tools enable tracking and reporting of hazardous materials, supporting compliance with regulations such as REACH and driving progress toward a toxic-free value chain.
Reducing Carbon Footprints in Chemical Production
Chemical manufacturing is energy-and carbon-intensive, call for significant emissions reductions to meet global climate targets. Supply chain ESG platforms can help track Scope 3 emissions, optimize energy use, and promote low-carbon alternatives to help companies decarbonize their operations and supply chains.
Innovating for Sustainable Development
As a linchpin in upstream value chains, the chemical industry can drive sustainable innovation for multiple sectors. By adopting ESG solutions, companies can align product development with market demand for greener alternatives, meet regulatory expectations, and enhance their role as enablers of sustainability across industries.

Supply Chain Due Diligence
The chemical industry faces significant risks from raw material sourcing, including pollution, human rights violations, and toxic exposure. Our due diligence solutions ensure compliance with regulations like the EU’s CSDDD by identifying risks related to fossil fuel-based inputs, critical minerals, and renewable feedstocks, ensuring ethical and sustainable sourcing practices.
Sustainability Reporting
With hazardous substances and high emissions under scrutiny, sustainability reporting is vital for chemical companies to demonstrate progress. We simplify compliance with frameworks like the EU’s CSRD by providing robust ESG data management tools, enabling you to track your transition to safer and low-carbon processes.
Carbon Emissions & Decarbonization
Chemical production is highly carbon-intensive, particularly in feedstock processing and manufacturing. We help you monitor embedded carbon and reduce Scope 3 emissions, aligning with regulatory standards and supporting the adoption of renewable energy and low-carbon alternatives.
Deforestation & Biodiversity
Renewable feedstocks like palm oil and biomass are frequently tied to deforestation, biodiversity loss, and land use conflicts. Our solutions ensure compliance with regulations like the EUDR by providing traceability tools and promoting sustainable sourcing practices to mitigate environmental risks.
Multi-Tier Supply Chain Visibility
Chemical supply chains are complex, with risks related to hazardous substances and environmental impacts spanning multiple tiers. Our advanced visibility tools streamline supplier mapping, ensure regulatory compliance, and strengthen risk mitigation, all while supporting sustainable supply chain transformation.
Product & Material Compliance
Compliance with evolving regulations like REACH, PFAS restrictions, and the TSCA is essential for chemical companies. Our product solutions facilitate adherence to global standards, enabling the phase-out of hazardous substances and supporting the development of safer, more sustainable products.
Customer Case
Clariant
Clariant
Top speed sustainability screening of a 20,000 strong supplier base
"Our focus on sustainability makes us win new business. IntegrityNext gives us the necessary transparency about sustainability in our supply chain."
Artur Kulawiński
Global Risk Manager in Procurement
Objective
To effectively manage the risks associated with raw materials, Clariant needed to expand their supply chain risk management to include sustainability factors but struggled to engage with a very large supplier base.
The goal was to find a solution that could help them effectively obtain supplier sustainability data in a standardized way and integrate into their existing tools.
How IntegrityNext helps
Clariant uses IntegrityNext to deploy a standard assessment process to screen suppliers in all relevant sustainability and product compliance areas, increasing transparency on supply chain sustainability performance significantly.
The IntegrityNext data feeds seamlessly into Clariant’s risk management system, where sustainability risks can then be viewed as part of the holistic risk analysis and the team can take follow-up measures.
