Corporate Social Responsibility
We recognise we have a responsibility to our shareholders, staff, customers, suppliers, and community to fully embrace ESG.
We want to do better.
This has been our focus for many years. We also believe setting an example and sharing our expertise is the best way to encourage others to do better. So, we have committed to further reducing any negative impact our business has wherever possible. Where one company leads, others will follow.
It’s the right thing to do.
ESG is essential to our future success as the environment changes and society adapts. Considering all this, we have implemented a business wide ESG Policy. This policy provides a framework for how ESG-related considerations are identified and addressed within Croydex.
Our future depends on it.

Toilet Twinning
Every year we use #WorldToiletDay to help raise awareness for the millions of people currently living without access to a clean, safe toilet. This year is no different.
We must fight to tackle the global sanitisation crisis and achieve the Sustainable Development Goal 6: water and sanitation for all by 2030.
By choosing to twin our workplace with a safe and sustainable toilet elsewhere around the world we are helping people trapped in a vicious cycle of poor sanitation and disease to learn new hygiene practices and fight illnesses linked to lack of soap and clean water.
