RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS

KRATON STRIVES TO MAKE A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE TO OUR CUSTOMERS, IN OUR JOBS AND TO THE WORLD

Kraton’s Responsible Procurement Program focuses on our key partners, their products and services, and our supply chain as a whole. Our objective is to accelerate environmental and social improvements across our supply chain by identifying and mitigating supply chain risks, creating value through continuous improvement and seeking collaboration and joint development opportunities.

We achieve this through a commitment to safe, compliant, socially- and environmentally-sound operations that help create long-term value in a resource-constrained world. We cannot deliver on that without our partners’ contributions.

Compliance

Kraton is committed to 100 percent compliance, 100 percent of the time. Compliance work is overseen by the Audit Committee of the Board and the internal Corporate Compliance Committee (CCC), which reports to the Audit Committee. CCC members consist of Kraton executive leadership and business leaders from Europe, Asia and South America to gain the broadest possible perspective on compliance challenges and how to address them. Our global Ethics and Compliance program is designed to promote and reinforce ethical behavior in every aspect of our business by:

Communication

These policies are posted on the intranet and translated into the primary languages spoken by employees

Monitoring and Auditing

Monitoring and auditing compliance with these policies. Every year, Internal Audit undertakes one or more projects directly linked to our biggest compliance risks.

Training

Providing ongoing training in areas of the law that impact our business.
