For Generations
At Huber, sustainability is our business resiliency strategy. It isn’t just a term we throw around because it sounds “good” or “nice,” or even just a way we describe our environmental impacts or goals. It delves deeper, illustrating how we have—and will continue to—support Huber’s long-term success as an organization.
For Generations brings Huber’s sustainability journey to life. It connects to the Huber Principles and Vision 150, demonstrating how each of us can help shape a brighter future. We’ve always prioritized being a good corporate citizen, and we’re continuing to deliver on that commitment today.
As society’s expectations evolve, as technologies improve, so does the way we do business, always with an aim to reduce our negative impact and strengthen our ability to serve as a force for good. For Generations adds depth to our approach, spotlighting strategies that strengthen our business and protect our legacy as a principled, family-owned company. By strengthening a wide array of key facets of our business, we maintain operational excellence, effectively serve our wide customer base and continue our work towards our Vision to grow a thriving and connected family of sustainable solutions.

Safety, Sustainability & Products on Purpose
Safety is one of Huber’s highest priorities. Sitting at the top of our Huber Principles diamond, it is a core component of our decision-making process as a Company.
To continue improving lives through our solutions, we must be conscientious caretakers of the environment, committed to minimizing our impact on both climate and nature. A fundamental aspect of our efforts is protecting our planet through environmentally responsible products and supply chains that prioritize sustainability. By evaluating product ingredients and their near- and long‑term effects on consumer health, Huber differentiates itself in a competitive market and becomes the partner of choice for customers seeking the highest-quality ingredients.
Huber will strive to meet its climate aspirations by implementing process changes, both capital expenses and continuous improvement, that improve efficiency and minimize waste. With our stakeholders, we aim to design innovative products that optimize raw materials, consider product use and end‑of‑life impacts and lower portfolio carbon footprints. Huber is also looking at ways to increase renewable energy sourcing for our own operations, reducing our Scope 2 emissions and improving our energy resilience.
This commitment to our environment and the communities in which we live and operate is more vital now than ever before.
What gets measured, gets improved
All Huber sites utilize the Huber Safety & Sustainability Data Management platform, based on Enablon® software, to record, track and analyze performance and share best practices.
