Profirst is devoted to protecting the environment as well as the health and safety of our employees and neighbors.

As a manufacturer of organosilicon products, we are responsible for creating value for our customers. Additionally, we have a responsibility toward our employees and the communities in which we operate. We also have a responsibility to operate in a manner that protects people and the environment and preserves the planet for future generations.

To Profirst, sustainability means not only managing our facilities to protect the environment and health and safety of our people, but also enhancing the communities where we operate; and recognizing that the manufacture and use of chemicals requires our dedicated care and expertise

We operate our production sites safely and reliably—with full awareness that human factors are crucial to good environmental performance. We evaluate our performance and set aggressive goals for continuous improvement.

Profirst’s environmental philosophy

We are proud of managing our performance to minimize its impact on the environment. We set new goals to reduce our use of raw materials and energy—as well as emissions and wastes. We work together to find out good disposal solutions. We never stop evaluating our environmental strategies in light of new technology and environmental concerns. At Profirst, we are managing our business while caring for future generations.

We believe that:

1.    Compliance is a minimum standard. We not only monitor and report on our environmental impact, but also work with regulators to develop standards that benefit the environment, society and business.

2.    Good environmental management means cleaner and safer surrounding for everyone. That means cleaner air, land and waterways; safer communities; and improved cost efficiency.

3.    We can contribute to environmental protection in innovative ways. This means developing products that enable our customers to use energy and water more efficiently. And it means working with governments to ensure that our products have the lowest impact possible on the environment. For example, we are involved in increasing recycling infrastructure worldwide.
