Creating value from silicone

The Personal Care Team of the global chemical company KCC Silicone is recognized for its outstanding technological prowess, supplying products to numerous leading cosmetics companies both domestically and internationally. Following the acquisition of the international RSPO certification in March of last year, KCC Silicone recently renewed its regular audit, furthering its commitment to sustainable and eco-friendly management.

RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil) is a global standard designed to promote the sustainable production of palm oil while protecting the environment. It aims to address environmental and social issues within the palm oil industry, targeting sustainable development and future goals. RSPO certification is granted to companies that meet strict principles and thorough criteria, including environmental protection, management transparency, compliance with legal obligations, and sustainability.

In line with this, KCC Silicone has obtained RSPO certification to fulfill its commitment to sustainable management and social responsibility. The certified items include the silicone powders SeraSnow SP 13 and SP 14 for cosmetics, and the gel blend SeraSilk ELA 20, which contains naturally derived oils. Notably, the regular audit in 2024 expanded the certification scope to include not only manufacturing but also procurement and sales, indicating an increase in KCC Silicone's RSPO-certified products. The RSPO certification can be verified on the KCC Silicone website.

KCC Silicone plans to continuously expand and renew its RSPO certification, leveraging this foundation to actively target overseas markets that have a high preference for eco-friendliness and sustainability.

Meanwhile, KCC Silicone will continue to fulfill its social responsibilities as a global manufacturer and strive for a sustainable future.
