Biodiversity

Biodiversity is an issue of particular importance because of the impact of KCE's activities on the extent and condition of ecosystems.

Biodiversity

As part of our environmental commitment, Kao Chemicals Europe works to protect and promote the planet's biodiversity. We strongly believe in the value of preserving this asset for the environmental wealth and heritage of future generations.

For this reason, in contributing to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), we emphasize activity aimed at protecting ecosystems and terrestrial biodiversity.

Initiatives for the preservation of biodiversity

In 2024, the following actions were carried out:

  • At KCSA, the year was dedicated to the Fungi kingdom, through the development of different activities, such as conferences, a mushroom recipe contest, a contest to demonstrate knowledge of the Fungi kingdom, various posters and a cultivation workshop. The nest boxes and insect hotels installed in 2020 and 2021 were monitored, and certified organic fertilizers were used. The year ended with a new edition of the Biodiversity policy. And, for yet another year, KCSA contributed to the reforestation of the green area surrounding the town of Mollet del Vallès, participating in the traditional "Festa de l'Arbre" (Tree Festival).

  • At KCG carried out the usual tasks of cleaning the banks of the Rhine River.

  • At KCHI, this year we have planted native plants throughout the main factory entrance area in Rubí, performed an activity lead by workers to get to know the environment (flora and fauna) in Rubí and used non-aggressive pesticides in the maintenance of green areas and pest control.

  • Different plant species were planted at the KCE centres.
