Royal DSM is a global purpose-led, science-based company in Nutrition, Health and Sustainable Living. DSM’s purpose is to create brighter lives <i>for all</i>- for people today and for generations to come. With its products and solutions DSM addresses some of the world’s biggest challenges while creating simultaneously economic, environmental and societal value. We achieve this by using all the scientific and innovation power at our disposal. We connect our unique competences in Life Sciences and Materials Sciences to create solutions that nourish, protect and improve performance.<br/>The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals drive our science and innovations agenda. Science and Innovation in DSM spans three defining areas: “Nutrition and Health”, “Climate and Energy”, and “Resources and Circularity”. Polymeric materials play a key role in all these three areas. Examples for each of these three categories include medical grade thermoplastic polymers, used in medical devices, anti-reflective coatings for solar panels, and polymers enabling a unique product design technology for fully recyclable carpet and mattress manufacturing. To cover the complete life cycle of the polymer product, we connect synthetic chemistry, chemical engineering, material science, and characterization during production, use, and “end of life”.<br/>DSM delivers innovative solutions for human nutrition, animal nutrition, personal care and aroma, medical devices, green products and applications, and new mobility and connectivity. DSM and its associated companies deliver annual net sales of about €10 billion with approximately 23,000 employees. The company was founded in 1902 and is listed on Euronext Amsterdam.
