Grolman Group Commits to Achieving Net Zero By 2050
Their vision: net zero economic growth through circular innovation.
Neuss, 21 June 2022
Grolman Group is announcing ambitious actions to combat climate change by committing to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, joining other organisations in leading the way on urgently tackling climate change.
As part of their ongoing commitment to sustainability, Grolman Group will set science-based targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to be approved by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi). These commitments align Grolman Group with the Paris Agreement's most ambitious goal of limiting global temperature rise to 1.5°C.
The Grolman Group commits to Net Zero by 2050. Following the SBTi framework this means reducing absolute scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions by 90% by 2050, from a 2019 baseline. For its near-term targets Grolman Group commits to reduce its scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 46% by 2030, from a 2019 baseline.
“We are doing this because, as a family business, we want to pass on a healthy planet to the next generation. With these targets we are well on our way to reducing waste in our environment, and increasing our positive impact on our customers, the chemical industry and society. Our vision clearly reflects this: We want to sell chemicals to save the planet. We want the chemical industry to be the cure and not the disease.” says Florian Grolman (Managing Director of Grolman Group).
To accomplish this, Grolman Group focuses on circular innovation. “We believe that the path to net zero is evidently linked to the concept of circularity. Only through circular economy can we both create economic growth and avoid pollution and a wasteful use of valuable resources.”
Grolman Group regards their existing extensive network as an essential basis for reaching net zero, while also actively developing new partnerships for sustainable innovation. “We are convinced that all this will only be possible in close cooperation with our existing partners, suppliers, and customers, as well as new partners who will join us on this path. With our technical expertise and close personal relationships, we connect partners and needs along the entire value chain to jointly develop opportunities in circular innovation.”
About Grolman:

The Grolman Group, run by the fifth generation of the Grolman family, has been privately owned since it was established in 1855. The key to its success has been the dedication and commitment to building an efficient customer-focused organization where customers’ needs are an essential driving force.
About SBTi:
The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) drives ambitious climate action in the private sector by enabling organizations to set science-based emissions reduction targets.
The SBTi is a partnership between CDP, the United Nations Global Compact, World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). The SBTi call to action is one of the We Mean Business Coalition commitments.

Net Zero vs. Carbon Neutral:
Carbon neutrality refers to a policy of not increasing carbon emissions and achieving carbon reductions through offsets. Net zero carbon means making changes to reduce carbon emissions as much as possible - and offsets as a last resort.
