CHEManager: Moeve has emerged out of a major transformation from Cepsa. How has this transition shaped your sustainability ambitions at Moeve Chemicals and the company’s renewed commitment to climate leadership?

Alfredo Lopez: Moeve Group’s ambition and strategy have strengthened our understanding of stakeholder needs within Moeve Chemicals. Today, both the Group and the Chemicals business are at the forefront of the energy transition. Each business unit is channeling resources toward the development of green molecules, with the goal of delivering sustainable products and services tailored to our customers’ needs.
