Chemicals connects our energy and food businesses. We trade basic petrochemicals at scale while building positions in specialty and battery materials — electrolytes, separators, cathode precursors — that the metals and energy segments turn into finished cells.

In fertilizers, we are one of Asia's larger distributors, a quiet but critical link in regional food security and a bridge to our Food & Agriculture business.

Biochemicals and Material Innovation

We are advancing the transition from traditional petroleum-derived products to bio-based chemicals. Beyond providing high-value materials to the agriculture and food industries, we hold a top global market share in electronic materials essential for semiconductor manufacturing. We support the foundation of cutting-edge industries while reducing environmental footprints.

Focus Areas

• Expanding production capacity for biodegradable plastics.
• Building a stable supply network for high-purity gases for next-generation semiconductors.
