YASH LOHIA Chairman of ESG Council Member of the Sustainability and Risk Management Committee 19 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2021 We also have a new 2030 target to recycle 1.5 million tons of post-consumer PET bale input. In March 2022, we reached an important milestone, having recycled 75 billion PET bottles since 2011 - and counting.With our respective 2025/2030 targets in mind, we are aiming for a goal of “90% of waste diverted from landfills,” which encourages our employees to reuse and avoid waste at our facilities. Five of our sites have already achieved zero dischargedwastewater in linewith our sustainablewater management objectives. At IVL, we are strengthening our sustainability culture by providing our employees with a range of activities to drive sustainability awareness, including webinars and our own SustainWire communications tool. RESPONSIBLE FOR A BETTER FUTURE Thehealthandsafetyofour employeesarenon-negotiable, andour EHS teamis implementingenhancedgovernance in standardization, assurance, capacity building, andcommunications, as part of our culture. Our Corporate EHS Team announced the launch of our “Golden Rules” to prevent injuries and fatalities in our manufacturing operations. This was followed by the introduction of our Injury and I llness Prevention Program (I2P2) as a more integrated approach to communicate relevant information globally. The key to our success will be responding to consumer needs for sustainable products that prioritize health, safety and well-being, and promote economic growth. We are work ing wi th par tners to col lect more post-consumer PET bottles and improve awareness about recycling and PET’s value. For example, we teamed up with Coca-Cola (Thailand), private companies, and environmental start-up Trash Lucky to encourage consumers to separate their recyclables at home. Our recycling education program has expanded to Mexico, the Philippines and Indonesia, and we are working towards reaching one million consumers by 2030. BECOMING A MORE SUSTAINABLE COMPANY In the year ahead, we will continue to collaborate with partners to solve the issue of plastic waste. I am excited about our product innovations, the new technologies we are exploring, including CCUS, our ongoing focus on GHG reductions, and improving the conservation of natural resources and biodiversity. I am pleased to note that IVL was the first company in Thailand to publish a report linked to the UN SDGs. We are integrating the SDGs into our strategy to operate responsibly and with a sustainability mindset. Last year, we achieved sustainability recognitions from DJSI, CDP, MSCI, EcoVadis, Sustainalytics and FTSE4Good, among others.We ranked first in ChemScore among the world’s top 50 chemical producers assessed by ChemSec based on our environmental impact and management of hazardous chemicals. Moreover, we received the highest recognition level, a platinummedal, among the top1%of companies assessedby EcoVadis on sustainable supply chain management. My passion for sustainability continues as we expand and improve our position in recycling globally and find the right solutions to reduce our emissions. We are already leading the way in PET sustainability and will improve further by achieving Net Zero Carbon. In doing so, we will safeguard the trust of our stakeholders as a world-class sustainable chemical company. I appreciate the time and effort put in by the IVL team and all of our partners as we demonstrate our capacity for change and continue to pursue our ambitious goals to place sustainability at the core of all that we do.
