Our purpose is to create brighter lives for people today and generations to come. We connect our unique competencies in Life Sciences and Material Sciences to create solutions that nourish, protect and improve performance.The scholarship will offer two scholarships to young leaders around the world, who are working to further the transition from a linear to a circular and/or bio-based economy.The scholarship focuses on DSM’s purpose-driven domain, Resources & Circularity. DSM’s ambition is to safeguard the future availability of natural resources, and to unlock more value from the limited resources that are available. In order to reach this two-fold goal, DSM focuses on five circularity drivers to design and manufacture its solutions:
Reduce the use of critical resourcesReplace scarce, hazardous and potentially harmful resources with renewable and safer alternativesExtend the lifetime of productsDesign for recyclabilityRecover waste streams
