OUR COMMITMENT

Reduce our Scope 1 and 2 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Intensity by 20 % by 2030.

As part of our efforts to mitigate climate change, we aim to reduce our own Greenhouse Gas emissions and continue to innovate and manufacture products that help customers reduce their carbon footprint. In alignment with external frameworks such as the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), we evaluate the risks and opportunities associated with climate change and the transition to a low-carbon economy.

REDUCING WASTE GENERATION

We continue to improve our processes and reduce the generation of process residuals. Wherever possible, we seek to minimize waste by recycling or reusing process residuals such as catalysts, maintaining proper oversight of non-conforming products, and using our by products for fuel or other commercial applications.
