THE WOODLANDS, Texas,
June 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- Huntsman Corporation (NYSE: HUN) has published its 2019
corporate sustainability report titled, "Innovating Toward a
Circular Economy: Transform, Reduce Eliminate," on its web site
at Huntsman.com/sustainability. The report discusses how Huntsman
is adopting a circular mindset in its business.
This GRI-compliant sustainability report includes Huntsman's
annual Communication on Progress to the United Nations Global
Compact, as well as its first formal materiality
assessment and a robust reporting of its environmental, social
and governance performance.
"In our operations today, Huntsman is revising manufacturing
processes to reduce energy use and CO₂ emissions and to
recycle waste byproducts," said Corporate Sustainability Officer
Ron Gerrard. "We're also developing
new chemistries to use waste as a resource or to eliminate it
altogether. In this report, we share how we're already moving from
a linear 'cradle-to-grave' approach toward a circular mindset that
transforms, reduces and eliminates waste and moves us closer to a
more sustainable future.
"We are committed to the principles of the Global Reporting
Initiative (GRI) to provide regular, reliable and transparent
reporting on our sustainability performance, and continue to look
for ways to elevate our sustainability reporting to better meet the
needs of our stakeholders."
This is Huntsman's ninth sustainability report since launching
its corporate sustainability initiative in 2010.
