Sustainability

Creating value through advanced materials

At Victrex, we believe the most significant contribution we can make to a more sustainable future is through the innovation and application of our high-performance polymer solutions.

Our materials are used in some of the world's most demanding applications, where performance, reliability and efficiency are critical. From reducing weight and emissions in aerospace and automotive applications to improving patient outcomes in medical technologies, we work with customers to solve complex challenges and deliver solutions that create lasting economic, environmental and societal value.

Our approach to sustainability reflects this focus. We concentrate on the areas where we can have the greatest impact: developing products that support customer goals, operating our business responsibly and efficiently, and creating an environment where our people and communities can thrive.

Our Strategy

Our Sustainability (ESG) strategy is aligned to net zero 2050 across all scopes via the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi – which we received validation for in May 2024), and targets to increase the proportion of sustainable products – which support CO2 reduction or bring clinical benefit – as well as minimising use of resources such as energy, waste and water. 100% of our global electricity is from renewable sources, some including our own solar electricity generation.

Our strategy has Sustainability at its core and seeks to build on the competitive advantage we already offer to our customers and our markets. Our focus is on three key areas: People, Planet, and Products.
