Sustainable innovation is embedded in our culture. It begins in our research and development centers, where new products are evaluated and screened for safe chemistry, and extends to our entire portfolio.

Through our Product Stewardship pledge, we are striving to eliminate or mitigate more than 20 chemical compounds from our product formulations around the globe by 2030, which includes efforts to incorporate bio-based materials.

Product innovation is a key component of our growth strategy. We take a center-led approach to sustainable product development initiatives as we advance our products ahead of regulatory changes and truly integrate sustainable solutions into our Building a Better World strategy. Our investment in innovation reflects our commitment to sustainability and meeting the challenges and opportunities associated with climate change.

Innovation is embedded throughout our product development process and supported by a global network of research and development centers, laboratories and technical experts.

Guided by our mission of Building a Better World, our teams develop solutions that extend asset life, improve building performance and support more sustainable construction. We evaluate new products to promote the use of safer chemistry and continue to explore opportunities to incorporate bio-based and recycled materials into our formulations and packaging.

Among our most recent innovations are:

• PAVA Resin's PAVA-BIO portfolio, which incorporates bio-based raw materials into flooring and waterproofing solutions that reduce reliance on fossil-based inputs

• Nudura's HercuWall insulated concrete form system, which supports efficient construction while enhancing building performance and energy efficiency

• Nullifire's Perlifoc® HP Eco+ solution, which provides low-VOC passive fire protection that supports green building certification programs

We also foster greater collaboration through global initiatives like our annual R&D Summit, where researchers and scientists from across RPM gather to exchange technical expertise, showcase emerging innovations and share best practices. In the coming year, more than 100 R&D associates will participate in the summit, helping strengthen connections across teams, accelerate innovation and further integrate sustainability into our product development process.

RPM’s Resin Center of Excellence drives resin product development and production by leveraging the collective expertise of our associates across businesses.
