About Hempel A world-leading coatings supplier working in the decorative, protective, marine, container and yacht markets, Hempel is committed to conducting business in a socially responsible manner and with respect for the environment. Hempel coatings help protect man-made structures – from wind turbines and bridges to ships and homes – from the corrosive forces of nature. With a strong focus on R&D, advanced production techniques and professional coating advice, we work around the globe to help keep man-made structures safe, attractive and corrosion-free for longer. Our coatings enable structures to remain in active service for longer by extending their product lifecycles. This helps reduce the overall environmental impact of each structure during its lifetime. However, we also believe that as a company we must continually focus on improving our environmental performance, and must help our customers meet their environmental targets. We produce advanced products for the shipping industry that maintain a ship’s hydrodynamic performance and so reduce fuel consumption and associated CO 2 emissions. We invest in developing low-solvent and waterborne products that reduce the amount of volatile organic compounds and other chemicals released into the environment. And we continually work to reduce the energy we consume and waste we produce. Our 5,000 employees live and work in more than 80 countries, and we have 24 factories, 48 sales offices and more than 150 stock points located strategically around the globe. But wherever we work, we foster a close dialogue with our stakeholders, customers, suppliers and employees, and conduct business to the same high ethical standards. 6
