Driving Sustainability
Progress Through Innovation
and Responsible Operations

Through advanced materials, nanotechnology and responsible operations, we help industries improve performance, extend product life and reduce environmental impact.

Advancing Sustainable Performance Towards 2030

Our 2030 direction connects sustainable innovation with responsible operations, people development and trusted governance—embedding long-term value creation into how we scale technology and grow across markets.

Sustainability Progress 2025

In FY2025, we turned commitment into measurable progress across innovation, emissions, energy, water, responsible sourcing and labour practices—moving our 2030 ambition forward.

Four Priorities Driving Our Sustainability Progress

Our sustainability framework is guided by four pillars: Sustainable Innovation, Environment, Social and Responsible Business. Each pillar shapes how we innovate, manufacture, empower people and uphold trust across our business.

Pillar 01 · Sustainable Innovation

Innovating for Sustainable Performance

Our sustainability journey begins with what we engineer. We apply advanced materials and nanotechnology to extend product life, use resources more efficiently and enable cleaner technologies.

Technology pathways for lower-impact industry

Electroplating-free dry vacuum coating

Electroplating-Free

We are advancing dry vacuum coating pathways that reduce reliance on wet chemistry and hazardous substances such as hexavalent chromium.
 
PFAS-free hydrophobic surface testing

PFAS-Free

We are expanding PFAS-free hydrophobic and anti-stick solutions that deliver surface performance without persistent fluorinated chemicals.
 
Hydrogen fuel cell clean power

Carbon-Free

Through our hydrogen technologies, we are advancing zero-emission power at the point of use across mobility, stationary power and distributed energy.

Pillar 02 · Environment

Reducing the Impact of How We Manufacture

We are improving energy, water and waste performance across our manufacturing footprint to reduce environmental impact and strengthen operational resilience as we grow.

Using resources more efficiently across our operations

Industrial rooftop solar energy management

Energy management

We are expanding solar generation and recovering energy from hydrogen laboratory activities to reduce grid dependence and lower our manufacturing footprint.
 
Water treatment and reuse equipment

Water management

We are strengthening recycling, treatment and reuse to conserve water and reduce discharge as our operations grow.
 
Factory waste segregation

Waste management

We are improving segregation, handling and disposal across our sites to reduce impact and reinforce operational discipline.

Pillar 03 · Social

Growing People and Possibilities

We invest in our people, future talent and communities to build capabilities, widen opportunity and create positive impact beyond our operations.

Building capabilities and contributing beyond our operations

Technical mentoring for learning and development

Learning and development

We grow capability from day one, building the technical, safety, digital and leadership skills our people need to progress.
 
Future talent in thin-film research

Future talent pipeline

Through the Nanofilm Scholars Programme, we invest in advanced research and nurture the scientists and engineers who will shape what comes next.
 
Employee community volunteering

Community involvement

Our people extend their impact beyond work through volunteering, social outreach and environmental initiatives such as One Million Trees.

Pillar 04 · Responsible Business

Earning Trust Through Responsible Business

Long-term value depends on trust. We strengthen governance, ethics and accountability so growth remains responsible, resilient and transparent.

Building accountability into how we operate

Corporate governance discussion

Corporate governance

We continue strengthening oversight, internal controls and accountability to support responsible decisions and long-term resilience.
 
Business ethics supplier review

Business ethics

Our Code guides how we act with integrity, manage conflicts responsibly and build trusted business relationships.
 
Policies and certifications inspection

Policies and certifications

We continue aligning our operations with clear policies and internationally recognised standards across quality, environment, safety and information security.
