Raw materials
In 2022, the CHT Group purchased worldwide raw materials worth more than 350 million EUR from more than 1,000 suppliers.
Sustainability assessment of raw materials
As part of our commitment to sustainability, all raw materials in use are assessed against the defined criteria. If one of the above criteria is met, the raw material will be marked “Red” or in the case of the CoRAP criterion “Yellow” and thus becomes a critical raw material regarding sustainability within the company.
CHT criteria for the sustainability assessment of raw materials:
- CMR substance (substance, which is carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic to reproduction)
- toxic, category 1 to 3
- sensitizing
- target organ toxic
- environmentally hazardous, class 1 and 2
- SVHC
- CoRAP (Community Rolling Action Plan) list
