Stahl to create more value for all stakeholders by focusing on four key strategic areas

Stahl, a world leader in the speciality chemistry of coatings, processing and treatments, has announced that it will further apply its focus and efforts on four areas of strategic importance: digital transformation, open innovation, renewable feedstocks and sustainable development. By doing this, and by working with partners throughout the value chain, Stahl will raise the bar and create more value for its employees, partners, customers, investors and society at large.

For nearly a century, Stahl has collaborated with a range of partners to develop and deliver necessary chemistry. By fostering transparency and working to improve its environmental impact, it has helped to protect the communities in which it operates and shape a better chemical industry. Today, with our world facing a series of pressing, interconnected environmental and social challenges, Stahl is further committing to enabling high living standards within planetary boundaries.

To realise this commitment, Stahl will work together with its partners to further drive its progress and value delivery in four key areas:

• By continuing its digital transformation journey, Stahl will drive its operational efficiency, propositional value and market relevance.
• By embracing open innovation, Stahl aims to innovate more efficiently, explore new markets, and better address customer demands.
• By further enabling renewable feedstock solutions, Stahl will support defossilisation and help to decouple growth from fossil-carbon-based resource consumption.
• By working with partners to deliver sustainable development, Stahl aims to do well by doing good and create value for all its stakeholders.

Huub van Beijeren, Chief Executive Officer at Stahl: "Stahl is at an early stage of an important journey – a journey to drive sustainable development and positive change together with our suppliers, customers, and industry partners. By seizing digital opportunities, embracing open innovation, and driving renewable feedstock solutions, we are supporting our company’s long-term ambitions and helping to ensure a better world for all our stakeholders. More than ever, I’m encouraged by our progress, thankful for the contributions of all my colleagues, and excited for what lies ahead.”
