Creating sustainable value for customers & markets
We strive to be a partner of choice for our customers providing them with unique mineral solutions. We are continuously improving our practices across the value chain to make our products as sustainable as possible. We also provide comprehensive information about our products so customers can make educated choices when they buy from us.
We are constantly pushing the boundaries to enhance our processes and practices to minimize our environmental footprint and create sustainable value for our customers and stakeholders along the value chain.

Helping our customers make informed decisions
To objectively assess our products’ environmental & social footprint and provide our customers with reliable data, we use a robust and fact-based assessment methodology: the SustainAgility Solutions Assessment (SSA) methodology.
SSA methodology enables us to score our mineral solutions based on two factors:
- Sustainable value creation: How much economic value is created in relation to the environmental impact.
- Market alignment according to market signals, assessed thanks to either an evaluation of publicly available information or discussions with key stakeholders.
After being assessed, a product is classified into the C, B, A (Enabler) or A+ (Pioneer) category depending on its level of sustainable performance.
Combining this methodology and our deep market knowledge, we are able to provide our customers with the most accurate product alternative choice to meet their sustainable ambitions.
Pioneer: A label for our most sustainable solution
Introduced in 2021, our Pioneer label is granted to mineral solutions listed as A+ by our SSA methodology. It guarantees that the product offers an outstanding sustainability performance compared to other existing references on the market.
When selecting a Pioneer solution, a customer makes the choice of a solution that has the highest level of social and environmental contribution to the downstream value chain as well as those with a low environmental impact during the production phase (in relation to its economic value).
Building trust by measuring and being transparent
As of December 2025, more than 78% of our existing portfolio solutions have been mapped using our robust SSA methodology. All of our new products developed are also assessed thanks to our methodology. As a result, we can evaluate the proportion of TalcAsia’ product portfolio that delivers measurable sustainability benefits to society.
By putting our products and solutions to the test, we not only give our customers the data to make informed decisions in their choice of product, but we also help them drive innovation and raise the bar within their industry.
