“Throughout the first half year 2022, we continued to generate a significant sales and profitability increase driven by strong pricing and volume growth, fully compensating raw material, energy, and logistic cost inflation. Our new operating model brings a simplified organizational and leadership structure to support the further implementation of Clariant’s purpose-led growth strategy and cultural transformation. Despite significant short-term macroeconomic uncertainties, we confirm our full year 2022 guidance and expect to make progress in operating cash flow generation in the second half of 2022,” said Conrad Keijzer, Chief Executive Officer of Clariant.
