Ineos Styrolution’s sixth sustainability report provides a comprehensive review of the company’s established environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance, with a focus on the scale up of its recycling activities and measures to reduce its carbon footprint. This year’s report includes an overview of the company’s contribution to the fight against COVID-19.

Since the publication of the company’s first qualitative report on sustainability back in 2015, Ineos Styrolution has demonstrated consistent improvements, resulting in a platinum rating by EcoVadis in 2020.

A refreshed materiality assessment undertaken in 2021 will enable the company to stay on track by mapping sustainability topics, which provide the most meaningful impact for its stakeholders.

“Despite the unforeseen challenges of the past year, we continue to maintain our commitment to operating sustainably and drive the shift to a circular, low-carbon economy for styrenics”, says Steve Harrington, CEO Ineos Styrolution.

This report has been prepared in accordance with Global Reporting Initiative’s (GRI) Standards, the most widely recognised reporting framework for sustainability and has been assured externally.
