Chemicals
As the world shifts to the next generation of clean energy and sustainable materials, chemicals have a pivotal role to play. To find new growth, companies must make the twin transitions to sustainable and digitalized business models.
By making greater use of data and technology the sector’s most innovative firms will unlock new products and materials, find efficiencies and develop new applications for chemicals to open a cleaner, smarter, brighter future.
How we help
Declining demand for some products, increasing regulation to address climate change: major shifts such as these are making it harder for chemical companies to identify opportunities for growth. We focus on innovation and sustainable diversification, finding and developing new growth in both adjacent and emerging domains. Whether it’s creating a new venture outside your core business, developing new skills to complement your in-house capabilities, or facilitating growth-enabling M&A, we focus on opening new opportunities to achieve above-market growth.
Many of our team have chemicals industry experience to complement their technology and consulting backgrounds, enabling us to combine deep technical knowledge with strategy and innovation capabilities. As such we can help you innovate in the broadest sense possible to develop new products, services, processes and business models. We focus on creating value through breakthrough offerings that can deliver new capabilities and respond quickly to emerging demand – all while remaining compliant.
While the industry grapples with inherent challenges such as energy intensive processes and sometimes toxic and dangerous materials, it is also critically placed to help the world achieve net zero and establish a truly circular global economy. As one of the pioneers of sustainability within the chemicals industry, we defined the standard approach for managing and assessing sustainable business performance. From helping you define and implement ambitious climate impact targets to developing circular business models, we can help turn your sustainability strategy into tangible, measurable actions embedded across your business.
