Our drive to improve today for a better tomorrow goes beyond our products. As part of J.M. Huber’s family of solutions, CP Kelco’s approach to sustainability encompasses the health, safety and well-being of our employees, support for philanthropic causes, and responsible stewardship of the environment, all while maintaining our economic performance. The Huber Principle of Environmental, Health & Safety (EH&S) Sustainability is the driver behind our Sustainability Strategy, which considers the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) dimensions of People, Planet & Profit in how we operate.


CP Kelco’s Triple Bottom Line approach supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals through direct alignment to four of those goals and positively impacts many others. Learn more about how our sustainability strategy supports and aligns with the UNSDG’s.
