THE WOODLANDS, Texas,
Oct. 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- Huntsman Corporation (NYSE: HUN) today published its latest
corporate sustainability report titled, "The Power of Less:
Energy Conservation & Efficiency in the Value Chain," on
its web site at www.huntsman.com/sustainability.
"The Power of Less" explores the many ways the company
actively works to conserve and become more efficient in its own use
of energy while creating products and technologies that help
consumers do the same – from light-weighting cars and airplanes for
greater fuel efficiency to developing construction materials that
make buildings and homes more energy efficient.
Population growth and urbanization, and the strain on natural
resources that results, are megatrends that make energy use central
to Huntsman's sustainability efforts. The company is
committed to finding solutions to help balance society's need for
energy with the need to minimize consumption and its effect on the
planet.
"The impact energy production has on our world's climate poses
significant challenges," said Ron
Gerrard, Corporate Sustainability Officer. "As a
chemical manufacturer, Huntsman plays a role in supporting the
development of alternative sources of energy – like wind and solar
– and in the construction and transportation industries, where our
innovative products are helping customers conserve and use energy
more efficiently. Further, we are constantly looking at ways
to make our manufacturing processes more efficient to reduce our
total energy consumption."
"The Power of Less" discusses how Huntsman works to
conserve the world's energy resources across the value chain:
incoming supply, process management, product innovation, and
distribution. The report covers the corporation's
sustainability initiatives from calendar year 2015 and includes
Huntsman's annual Communication on Progress to the United Nations
Global Compact.
This is Huntsman's sixth sustainability report since launching
its corporate sustainability initiative in 2010.
