We improve the efficiency of our systems, develop increasingly innovative solutions, and minimize the full life cycle environmental impacts of our products where possible. OUR APPROACH TO PRODUCT STEWARDSHIP Our product stewardship efforts minimize the full life cycle environmental impacts of our products through safer chemistry and efficiency alongwith eco-impact improvement of our production systems. This is done by developing innovative product solutions and benchmarking our products against those by our industry peers. In 2021, we achieved 46% global Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) coverage by production volume. The ongoing LCA helps us evaluate the environmental impacts of our products in compliance with ISO 14040/44:2006. Furthermore, we started a number of initiatives to offer lower GHG products through carbon offsets. Additionally in 2021, we launched the first Deja® Carbon Neutral PET for beverage bottles and completed LCA assessments for carbon neutral offerings of PET tire cord yarn and PP staplefibers for nonwovens. We will continue to work closely with our supply chain partners to develop products that meet stakeholder expectations, and we will continuously seek feedback to improve our products’ lifecycles.
