At Advancion, science is more than a discipline—it is our DNA. As a performance driven innovator of specialty ingredients, our identity is rooted in leveraging science as a force for positive transformation. Whether we are developing next-generation ingredients for beauty and personal care, sustainable solutions for industrial applications, or high-performance additives for energy and electronics, we continually push boundaries in pursuit of a better, more sustainable future.
But science at Advancion doesn’t stop in the lab. We apply systems thinking to evaluate the full lifecycle impact of every innovation. From raw material sourcing to end-of-life considerations, we design solutions that help reduce carbon footprints, improve safety, and support global sustainability goals. Our research teams collaborate across disciplines—chemistry, biology, materials science, and environmental engineering—to ensure each product we create, produce and sell advances both performance and planet-friendly outcomes.
“This past year marked important milestones in our sustainability journey. We further reduced our environmental footprint and significantly expanded the scope of our greenhouse gas emissions tracking. We made measurable gains in energy efficiency, water stewardship and waste reduction through targeted process improvements and enhanced environmental controls. Equally important, we advanced the way we think about innovation—with sustainability as a core design principle.”
David Neuberger, Advancion President & CEO

As we look ahead, Advancion remains committed to bold innovation and responsible growth. We will continue to invest in technologies that meet rising customer expectations and global sustainability targets.
