Board Message

Sunstar has a long history of developing products and technologies that contribute to healthier, safer, and more comfortable lives. As we continue to strengthen Sunstar as a global company, the Board believes that how we grow and the responsibilities that accompany that growth are fundamental to our long-term success.

In our Consumer Business, we draw on decades of Sunstar research into the connection between oral health and overall health to support people’s well-being. Our Industrial Business contributes to greater safety and comfort in buildings and mobility. Across both businesses, we also have a responsibility to reduce the environmental and social impacts of our operations and value chain.

For Sunstar, sustainability therefore means integrating environmental and social considerations into the way the Group operates and makes decisions, and into how we build relationships with our stakeholders. It also means identifying emerging risks and opportunities and maintaining strong governance standards across our businesses.

In 2025, we established an ESG Committee with the involvement of senior management across the Group. Since then, we have re-examined sustainability-related risks and opportunities, identified material priorities for the Group, and began accelerating focused initiatives globally.

Building on this foundation, in 2026 we established a Group-wide Human Rights Policy and Business Partner Code of Conduct. Together, these provide an important foundation for strengthening environmental and human rights due diligence across Sunstar and our value chain.

We have been calculating greenhouse gas emissions across the entire value chain for several years and, since 2025, have expanded the scope to cover the entire Group, laying the foundation for setting reduction targets aligned with the international climate change framework, Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), while advancing measures to reduce emissions.

The Board sees this work as an important part of building a resilient and sustainable Sunstar for the long term. We will continue to support strong oversight, clear accountability and meaningful progress as sustainability becomes increasingly embedded in the way Sunstar operates and grows.
