Leaders in natural chemistry
If you look around, you might be surprised to see that Oleon’s chemistry is everywhere: from the toothpaste you use in the morning, to the loaf of bread you eat during lunch, the tires of your car, the ink on your paper and the laundry softener you put in your washing machine.
We convert natural fats and oils into a wide range of oleochemicals, such as fatty acids, glycerine, esters, dimers, technical oils, specialty oleochemicals and biodiesel. These products combine high performance with ready biodegradability. We keep on optimizing and expanding our range and introducing our products to new markets. In order to do that, we need talented people like you.
The world is changing. Now more than ever, we take our responsibility in the face of the climate emergency and preserve our planet's resources. Our ambition is to offer a full range of safe and sustainable solutions, driving the global transition to a net-zero carbon economy. Over 95% of our raw materials are renewable and keep on searching for greener alternatives.
Each year, our sustainability ratings are rising. Since 2023 we have achieved an EcoVadis gold medal representing top 2% of assessed companies. Ratings on our palm activities are increasing year after year, and our efforts in terms of energy reduction are visible in a raising CDP score.
We want every employee to be safe and feel safe at Oleon. We are continuously building our safety culture. Besides that, we strive for an environment where everyone works in their element. Diversity and inclusion aren’t buzzwords at Oleon, we are a truly diverse company where everyone’s voice is heard.
