ICL’s holistic approach includes a Sustainability Index that evaluates the environmental impacts of new potential products during the R&D process(such as bioaccumulation, toxicity, etc.). Products that meet one of the categories defined as “no go” are halted and are not commercialized. During the use phase, clients are counseled by ICL on the best practices for using our products with minimal environmental impact. 

This approach is part of ICL’s extended product responsibility which is being implemented also with regard to climate impacts and GHG emissions. As ICL explores its value chain (Scope 3) GHG emissions, products and the impact they have during the use phase are a particular point of interest.  

Below are the carbon footprints of some of ICL’s primary products.
