Ansell Report 2026

We're leading the world to a safer future, but that future depends on connecting people protection and environmental protection. Embedding sustainability at every stage of product creation and deployment is how we drive long-term business resilience at Ansell. Alongside our sustainability progress, we continued to strengthen our business performance, advance innovation, and support our customers around the world.

We're proud to share these achievements through our 2026 Reporting Suite.

 

Growing with Purpose

  • $2.1 billion in revenue
  • Top 3% of all companies assessed by EcoVadis and top 1% in our industry
  • Top 1% Environmental score of all companies rated by EcoVadis in our industry

 

Empowering our people

Our people are at the heart of what we do. As we operate in a complex global supply chain, we extend our expectations of fostering a culture of safety and wellbeing and invest in the communities where we operate.

  • 90% of our finished goods suppliers and 81% of our raw material suppliers meet Ansell's labour, health and safety standards for decent work, after adding 20 newly assessed suppliers this year.1
  • 32% reduction in total recordable injury frequency rate (TRIFR).
  • 1,320 employee volunteer hours reached with the launch of our new Hearts & Hands community engagement strategy

 

Why does it matter?

Resilient supply chains are dependable when employees' safety, wellbeing, and labour rights are upheld. Beyond delivering products you can depend on, we are responsible to our people and the suppliers we work with.

 

Protecting the planet

We protect workers and we also recognise the urgent need to act for the future of the planet we all share.

  • 36% decrease in Scope 1 & 2 emissions (from FY20 base year)

Why does it matter?

Our target to reach net-zero GHG emissions across our value chain by FY2045 was officially validated by SBTi, establishing our commitments to reduce our impacts. We progressed in this effort and achieved 5 consecutive years of emissions reduction in our operations.

 

Reimagining our products

At Ansell, it is important to us to create high-performing products while minimizing our environmental impact. This year, we launched products that support our goal of combining innovative design with sustainability.

  • 60% bio-based carbon in our new TouchNTuff 93-800, an award-winning breakthrough glove with at least 15 minutes of acetone resistance
  • 20% recycled content per updated glove in our popular AlphaTec 58 and 53 Series
  • 40-59% reduction in comparative carbon footprint4 in our new HyFlex Sustainable Cut Resistance Series

 

Why does it matter?

Leading the world to a safer future means that sustainability cannot be an afterthought. We are committed to support advancing initiatives that consider the entire product lifecycle, from design and production to end-of-life management. Hence, through our RightCycle program, we've helped 254 end-users divert used PPE from landfills.
