Our commitment to our communities and the environment
As a company with a global reputation for high standards of performance and now actively involved in the rest of Africa, we at Chromatic Paints accept the responsibility that we have an impact on the societies and environments in which we conduct our business. Our strong foundations enabled us to think about a more focused, deeper agenda for the future together with our stakeholders.
We aim to create long-term shareholder value by embracing opportunities and managing risks derived from economic, environmental and social developments. We also acknowledge that healthy societies, communities, labour forces and environments provide the necessary foundation for a healthy business. As such, we are interdependent on the societies and environments in which we operate.
To this end, we integrate sustainability into the very core of our business strategy. Chromatic accepts and acknowledges our responsibility, not only in creating quality products, but also in encouraging a culture that is dedicated to progressive and sustainable solutions.
Green is not just a colour to us. We are actively committed to implementing environmentally considerate practices in every aspect of our business. Striving to inspire more ecological considerate decisions, we have responded to the challenge by innovating unparalleled sustainable solutions based on three key pillars of compliance, sustainability, and products.
