Purposeful partnerships
Strategic partnerships have been key to DOMO’s success.
Collaborations with MARTOR, OMV and Mitsubishi Chemical Group
have enabled the effective use of circular and bio-based materials.
These alliances are instrumental in helping DOMO achieve its goal
of selling 20% of its engineered materials volume from circular and
bio-based grades by 2030, as the company already reached 13%
in 2023.
DOMO’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have
yielded significant results. The company achieved a 29% reduction
in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions from its 2019 baseline, well on its
way to its 2030 target of a 40% reduction. In addition, the
company has increased its use of renewable electricity by 50%
year-over-year, reaching 18% across its global operations in 2023.
“Our sustainability achievements in 2023 underscore DOMO
Chemicals’ unwavering commitment to creating a better future
through innovation and collaboration,” said Yves Bonte, CEO of
DOMO Chemicals. “Every day, we strive to create new
opportunities for our customers with polyamides that make cars
lighter, electronics safer and tools more sustainable. We are proud
of our progress and inspired by the trust our customers place in
us.”
Caring and commitment
DOMO’s culture of ‘caring is our formula’ continues to drive the
company’s success. Yves Bonte: “Our goal is to foster an inclusive,
supportive, and dynamic workplace where every employee can
thrive.” The recent Pulse Check survey shows unwavering
employee engagement, and DOMO’s newly established Employee
Assistance Program provides further support for employees and
their families. With a multicultural workforce representing 18
nationalities, DOMO prides itself on its adherence to inclusiveness.
As DOMO expands globally, the new facility in China exemplifies
the group’s dedication to environmental stewardship and global
reach. DOMO remains committed to driving innovation and
securing quality jobs while advancing sustainability goals.
“The year 2023 has paved the way for a more unified and resilient
industry,” added Bonte. “Sustainability is not a destination, but an
ongoing journey. This year’s report is a testament to our caring
formula for responsible progress. Together, we can build a more
sustainable future as we care deeply for a better tomorrow.”
