UN sustainable development goals (SDGs) require the global power of collaboration to make progress in its path. As a leading global chemical company, SE Tylose considers it very important to be a part of this journey. We monitor our products, processes and activities to identify ways which we can impact SDGs.
In this respect, we have linked SDG 2, 3, and 13 to our business.
Sustainable Development Goal 2 aims to improve nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture for healthier future. Our product Tylose® is used as a binder in seed coating to produce uniform seeds, enabling an increase in planting per cultivated area and thus higher yields.
Additionally, our Tylopur® food additive products can be used to produce food that contribute to sustainable nutrition and combating global hunger. It is also used as an essential ingredient in plant-based meat substitutes. Plant-based alternatives containing Tylopur® require approximately 95% less water and land to produce than the same amount of beef from conventional animal husbandry.
Sustainable Development Goal 3 addresses key health challenges and promotes healthcare for all. Excipients produced with Tylopur® are used in the production of medicines and dietary supplements. Additionally, our excipients improve the patient’s comfort as well as compliance and acceptance of medicine by enabling oral disintegration and controlled release. Moreover, vegetarian and vegan patients can also be treated with our additives.
Sustainable Development Goal 13 emphasises the urgent need to take action on climate change and to enhance resilience to climate change impacts. Tylose® is essential for Exterior Insulation and Finish System (EIFS) adhesives improving energy efficiency in the housing sector.
Furthermore, animal husbandry is one of the main sources of methane emissions (greenhouse gas), so the availability of meat alternatives with Tylopur® helps to reduce those methane emissions.
SE Tylose is well aware of its responsibility towards its employees and the environment.
