Alcoa is steadily working to promote and support a more sustainable #aluminum industry, which we demonstrate through our Environmental, Social, and Governance policies and practices. This Wednesday, our life cycle assessment manager Fernando Antoñanzas will be participating in RMI’s webcast, "Driving Decarbonization through Emissions Transparency: Stories from the Steel and Aluminum Industries" – from 9-10 a.m. MT. Register at the link below to learn more about what Alcoa is doing to decarbonize the aluminum sector, and how emissions transparency and carbon accounting can support corporate climate action. https://bit.ly/3TZgN7x

We’re pleased to announce that Ashmore is joining 69 other international financial institutions calling on petrochemical companies to transition to safe and environmentally sound practices, by reducing fossil fuel dependency and eliminating hazardous chemicals in plastics. We’re requesting petrochemical companies producing plastic polymers to: ✅ Disclose and define strategies ✅ Address toxic polymers and chemicals ✅ Develop sustainable infrastructure ✅ Establish governance ✅ Support international agreements Read the Investor Statement here: https://lnkd.in/eD6zByKw #EmergingMarkets #BeatPlasticPollution Planet Tracker

A key trend in the petrochemicals industry has been its decisive shift towards decarbonisation. 🌎♻️    This shift is driving the adoption of sustainable business models, such as increased utilisation of bio-based feedstock and growing interest in recyclable polymers.    These innovative technologies, pivotal in supporting major players' decarbonisation efforts, also provide opportunities for expansion. For instance, LyondellBasell’s recent acquisition which secured 25% of the joint venture between Agilyx and ExxonMobil was a decisive move to accelerate their plastic waste recycling capacity.     This deal is just one of many key transactions we have featured. For a comprehensive list of transactions, we have been tracking in the petrochemicals sector, please reach out to our Head of Data Matthew Wise.    #Decarbonisation #Petrochemicals #Recycling #Biobasedfeedstock 

Gloablly, almost one million lives are lost due to hazardous substances and toxic chemicals exposure, making safer and sound chemical management a priority area for overcoming Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) deficits. The International Labour Organization Country Office for Pakistan, with support of UN Environment Programme and Global Environment Facility, has initiated a project to reduce the use and release of Chemicals of Concern (COCs), including Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs), in the Textile Sector. The Project will initially run a pilot project with 10 Textile Mills in Karachi through a capacity building programme focused Chemical Management SOPs, Workers training and communication, and health monitoring and protection. The shared video holds a strong narrative that why we need to work towards ractification of ILO Chemical Convention 1990 (No.170) and review inventory at national level. It is evident that both human health and enviromental sustainability are adversly impacted by ill-practices in conventional industries around the globe. #ILO #UNEP #GEF #ILOC170 https://lnkd.in/d8s7hkYu

Material stewardship is an ethic that embodies the responsible management of resources – in case of zinc it is the metal itself and all resources associated with its production, use and recycling. In practice, materials stewardship is about : Understanding the social, environmental and economic impacts of our material as it moves through its life cycle from mining to use and through to the end of its life. Developing relationships with other actors along the life cycle who can promote the benefits and appropriate use of your material or who can minimize risks to human health and the environment. Acting on appropriate stewardship activities for the part of the life cycle we directly control.

Air Liquide leads and BASF lags in Planet Tracker’s analysis of the #ClimateTransition strategies of seven major chemical companies. Despite all being part of the Climate Action 100+ benchmark, there’s a significant variance in ambitions and readiness among these companies. The #ChemicalIndustry plays a pivotal role in the global economy, contributing roughly 6% to GDP and providing essential products for 96% of all manufactured goods. Major challenges persist across the industry, however #sustainability within this sector is paramount for the broader transition towards a #NetZeroEconomy.
