Formosa Plastics Corporation, U.S.A. is excited to share that our Baton Rouge PVC facility has completed Phase I of their solar panel project for the administrative building onsite. The installation has the capacity to generate 350 kWh annually, exceeding the building's energy needs and allowing us to contribute surplus clean energy to the grid. Other areas of the site are exploring solar panel installations, as well.    This project complements our two existing solar installations at our New Jersey Headquarters, which has the capacity to generate 94% of our energy consumed from renewable resources, and a solar project at our packaging facility in Lolita, Texas. Projects bolstering clean energy support United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) such as (7) Affordable and Clean Energy and (9) Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure.

In 2019, the Vinyl Sustainability Council launched the first ever vinyl industry wide sustainability initiative. We’re excited to share that Formosa Plastics Corporation, U.S.A. has again completed all requirements and has been #VantageVinyl verified for five years in a row, obtaining a Silver verification for the last two years! The Vinyl Sustainability Council created the +Vantage Vinyl verification program for the industry to participate in sharing its environmental, health, and social impacts and highlight important areas companies are focusing in on. For Formosa, +Vantage Vinyl emphasizes the meaning of sustainable development through these common core principles, guiding Formosa and the entire industry value chain to demonstrate progress.
