Stepan Company Participates in The Net Zero Playbook

July 20, 2022

Stepan Company’s Chief Technology and Sustainability Officer, Jason Keiper, recently joined six global senior executives as a participant in the Science Group’s CTO Forum to develop the Net Zero Playbook.

The Science Group CTO Forum helped facilitate a platform for knowledge sharing about sustainable best practices among the group members. Together, the leaders developed the Science Group Net Zero Playbook to provide actionable tools and techniques that R&D leadership can implement to help their companies reduce carbon emissions.

“R&D has an essential role to play if we are to achieve meaningful progress on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, but this has to be a collective effort,” Keiper said. “There is an opportunity to have a greater impact on emission reduction and other sustainability imperatives if we work as a collective business ecosystem, in partnership with our suppliers and customers.”

The Net Zero Playbook consists of three action groups (Commit, Plan and Do) that can be implemented by organizations regardless of where they stand in their journeys to reduce carbon emissions.

Stepan is committed to providing innovative solutions for our customers through our products that promote improved health and hygiene, agricultural productivity, energy conservation, and efficient resource use, while also continuing to build upon our sustainability goals to cultivate a cleaner and better future.

The Science Group is an international, science-led services and product development organization that consists of three divisions: R&D Consultancy; Regulatory & Compliance; and Frontier Smart Technologies.
