Croda products are sold mainly to industry, forming part of other people’s products. They help to make them work, to make them successful, to become the ‘household names’ that play such an important part in all our lives. You won’t find our name in the High Street but you are likely to come into contact with many of our products on a daily basis.

Croda has been supplying naturally derived speciality chemicals to a wide range of industries for over 80 years. The acquisition of Uniqema in 2006 and its successful integration into the group has consolidated Croda’s position as one of the world’s most successful and most innovative speciality chemical companies. Today, Croda has sales, technical and manufacturing facilities throughout Europe, the Americas, Asia and the Far East and annual sales of over £900 million.

Corporate Social Responsibility

Our position as one of the world’s leading speciality chemical manufacturers brings with it many responsibilities. We recognise that Croda is not just about products, or how they are made, or how they are used, but also the impact of our activities on:

Sustainability and social responsibility have always been synonymous with Croda. Our emphasis on ‘natural chemistry’, using raw materials from renewable resources to make our products. Our ongoing drive to develop ‘cleaner’, safer processes and technology to make these products. Our quest to find the best people to join us, and then to train them and develop their skills. Our relationships with our neighbours in the community, and in schools and education.

A company can undertake such initiatives because they have to, or - like us - because they want to.
