As a Responsible Care Company, we are committed to promoting sustainable production and improving the environmental performance of our facilities and processes. We consistently review the value, impact, and safety of methanol, work with value-chain partners to support product stewardship and safety and disclose our environmental and social impacts in alignment with recognized reporting frameworks (SASB and TCFD).
We support the decarbonization of our company and other industries, including the global shipping industry, through investments in i) projects that can reduce GHG emissions intensity from our manufacturing process, and ii) in other technologies to produce lower-carbon methanol. We also advocate for the positive impact of methanol in the transition to a low-carbon economy.

We set out clear expectations of such behaviour through our Codes of Business Conduct, train all employees on anti-corruption policies and procedures, and make grievance and whistleblowing mechanisms accessible to all. Additionally, we maintain a transparent Board nomination process, Board diversity policy, and executive compensation practices.
