Advancing the transition to a sustainable society

Nynas develops bitumen and naphthenic specialty products that support sustainability and resilience in key value chains, from electrification and infrastructure to mobility and industrial applications.

Our portfolio contributes to lifecycle-based benefits across applications, helping customers reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, improve energy efficiency, extend service life, and enhance circularity – while maintaining functional performance.

Circularity initiatives, energy efficiency programmes, as well as Health, Safety, Security, Environment, and Quality (HSSEQ) standards are integrated across our operations to minimise emissions and resource use. Partnerships and innovation further support improvements beyond our operational boundaries.

Sustainability is a key driver in our R&D activities, with a focus on reducing energy consumption and CO₂ emissions and increasing circularity through product and process innovation.

We continuously improve safety, environmental performance and responsible business practices across our operations. In 2025, Nynas was awarded the EcoVadis Platinum medal, placing the company among the top 1% of organisations assessed worldwide for sustainability performance.
