In 2020, the company installed solar panels at its organic peroxide site in Mahad. Recently, the company also introduced sustainable solutions to help customers become more sustainable, including additives for anti-viral paint coatings, biodegradable crop protection ingredients, and products for cool roof coatings that further reduce the need for air conditioning. With primary focus on sustainable development, Nouryon aims to support the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to contribute to the prosperity and well-being of a more sustainable society in India.
