Our society today increasingly demands that the chemical industry, of which Groupe Berkem is a part, considers environmental and social factors. Groupe Berkem is actively involved in the ecological transition by integrating plant-based chemistry into the conventional chemical industry. Our group is therefore in a position to provide effective support to its clients. For example, it recommends them bio-based active ingredients that improve the performance of their products while reducing their impact on people and the environment.
