Celanese’s Post

Happy Independence Day from Celanese! Our facilities across the United States have their flags raised high to #LetFreedomRing.

Our BOLD employee resource group hosted an event dedicated to the history, significance and celebration of #Juneteenth. Employees immersed themselves in an art and music walk, were educated on both the Texas and larger United States history of this observance and got to enjoy snacks from local Black-owned businesses. Thank you to the Irving Art Center, Irving Black Art Council, After8toEducate, Best Pie Lady, Lala’s Desserts and artists Don O’Bannon, Frank Sowells and Jacqueline V. Jackson for joining us and helping shed a light on the continuous fight for #racialequality and the perseverance of the Black community.

Celanese CEO Lori Ryerkerk recently had the honor of receiving the American Chemistry Council’s 2024 Sustainability Leadership Award in the “Circularity” category for our carbon capture and utilization project at our Clear Lake, Texas, manufacturing site. This project is part of our Fairway Methanol joint venture with Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and is expected to capture 180,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide industrial emissions and produce 130,000 metric tons of low-carbon methanol annually. #ChemistryOfUs #CarbonCapture

Earlier this month, employees across our German Celanese locations joined 63,000 runners from more than 100 companies to compete in the 30th J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge in Frankfurt. The event supported two organizations: Laureus Sport for Good Foundation, an NGO committed to solving challenges for children and young adults such as education, inclusion and health with the help of sports programs; and the DBSJ, the youth organization of the German National Paralympic Committee, which initiates sports and educational activities for young athletes with disabilities and people who volunteer. Congratulations to the Celanese runner team who collected a total of 805 volunteer hours with their involvement in support of the above organizations! #CelaneseCares #ChemistryOfUs

Our CEO Lori Ryerkerk shared her perspective on the #chemicalsindustry and the role of #sustainability as part of Newsweek's inaugural “Chemicals – The New Era” report. While the report delves into the key challenges facing the industry, it also examines the many exciting opportunities for both individual companies and the larger sector arising from the energy transition and artificial intelligence revolution. “This strategic focus on sustainability, coupled with our agility in meeting customer needs, exemplifies our proactive stance on environmental stewardship and our capacity to deliver tailor-made, sustainable solutions rapidly,” said Ryerkerk.
