The report highlights priorities around higher sales prices, higher volumes, and continued launch of sustainable coating solutions, especially in marine and energy & infrastructure end markets. It is also building resilience in operations and supply chain risk management through climate adaptation, emergency preparedness and business continuity measures.
Scale and installed-base relevance support recurring demand and customer retention.
Customers and regulators increasingly favor lower-emission and recyclable solutions.
Climate and weather risks can disrupt production, R&D and supply continuity.
Maantiede
Hempel is headquartered in Denmark and operates through a global footprint of factories, R&D centres and sales companies. The annual report notes that 33% of its locations are in areas identified as high risk for flooding, which makes site resilience and continuity planning important parts of the operating model. Its business is therefore geographically diversified but exposed to climate, logistics and regulatory conditions across the countries where it manufactures and sells coatings.
Riskit
Hempel faces exposure to climate-related physical risk, regulatory change and hazardous-material handling because its business depends on manufacturing sites, R&D centres and chemical formulations. It also faces standard coatings-industry risks such as raw material volatility, customer project timing, competitive pricing pressure and execution risk in global supply chains.
