Download Sustainability Report 2026At Surfachem, we understand that sustainability is not just a trend, but a shared responsibility. As part of the 2M group, we actively work to integrate sustainable practices into all aspects of our value chain: from the selection of suppliers and raw materials, to logistics and customer service.
Our commitment is based on three key pillars:
Responsible innovation
Reduced environmental impact
Long-term partnerships
We focus on ingredients that respect the principles of green chemistry, promote biodegradable solutions and prioritise products with recognised certifications that guarantee ethical and ecological traceability.
In addition, we support our customers in the development of sustainable formulations, aligned with modern consumer expectations and international regulatory standards. Our technical and sustainability team works proactively to identify opportunities to reduce carbon footprint and improve product efficiency.
At Surfachem, we believe sustainability is an opportunity to lead with purpose. That's why we continue to evolve with a transparent and collaborative approach, contributing to a cleaner, safer and more responsible future for our industry and our planet.
"Improving life also means taking care of the planet. At 2M Group, we believe that sustainable chemistry is not a compromise it is the only path forward for our industry and the communities it serves.

Conscious sourcing means knowing the origin of every ingredient we distribute — not just the country or the supplier, but the full traceability chain from raw material to finished product.
We work exclusively with partners who can demonstrate responsible sourcing practices, and we actively prioritise ingredients with independent third-party certification. When sustainable alternatives exist at comparable performance and cost, we recommend them proactively.
Our sourcing criteria cover environmental impact, fair labour standards, biodiversity protection and supply chain transparency — because what sits behind a product matters as much as what it does.
