DIC Corporation acquired certification under ISCC PLUS, an international certification scheme for sustainable products, for a product manufactured by subsidiary DIC Epoxy (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd.
ISCC PLUS is a voluntary scheme that attests to the proper management of recycled and biomass-derived raw materials across the supply chain, including in production processes. The certification facilitates the use of raw materials to which the mass balance approach† has been applied.
Additionally, the use of mass balance bio-allocated raw materials is expected to reduce the DIC Group’s largest product carbon footprint by 19.4％,‡ compared with conventional products that use fossil-derived raw materials.
The DIC Group has identified contribution to the realization of carbon neutrality, creation of a circular economy and building a sustainable supply chain as issues of material importance that it must address.
As per the press release, going forward, in tandem with its Group companies that operate in more than 60 countries and territories, DIC will continue working to help drive sustainable development, in line with its goal of contributing to sustainability for the global environment and for society.
