The key issues for Clariant in terms of sustainability are shown in the »Materiality Matrix«. This matrix is the result both of a comprehensive stakeholder and trend analysis by Clariant itself and by external experts, and the evaluation of survey data from customers and other interest groups (»stakeholders«). The »Clariant Materiality Matrix« summary shows not only topics of fundamental or even great interest for Clariant and its stakeholders, but it also shows (in the right half of the matrix) the sustainability fields that are of relative importance for companies and stakeholders.

Clariant conducts these market analyses and stakeholder surveys regularly. The results and analyses are used in prioritizing the themes identified and in designing the respective measures. The Clariant Sustainability Council, the central steering committee for sustainability chaired by the CEO, evaluates the results and determines those sustainability issues and fields that currently have relevance or that are important with respect to the projects and objectives of the company. Regional sustainability committees ensure that the sustainability strategy is adopted accordingly in the regions and uniformly implemented.
