Kraton creates value for stakeholders and society as a whole. We strive to balance the needs and interests of all stakeholders by delivering innovative solutions that are useful, competitive and environmentally- and socially-sustainable regarding where they are sourced upstream, how they are produced in our plants and how they are used downstream by customers and society. Our Value Creation Model (VCM) describes the different capitals we depend on to develop, manufacture and market specialty chemicals – and how our business activities impact economic, social and environmental themes.
