Huntsman Publishes 2013 Sustainability Report
THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Oct. 2, 2014 /3BL Media/ - Huntsman Corporation (NYSE: HUN) today published its 2013 Sustainability Report titled, “Common Bonds.” It is available for download from http://www.huntsman.com/corporate/a/Sustainability.
“The term ‘common bonds’ has a dual meaning when it comes to our commitment to being a sustainable chemical company,” said Ron Gerrard, Corporate Sustainability Officer. “In chemistry, common bonds are created when atoms connect to create molecules. For Huntsman, the interests we share with our stakeholders form common bonds that help us create a sustainable business and meet the needs of our associates, customers, communities and shareholders.”
The 2013 sustainability report shares how Huntsman is addressing the interests we share in common with our stakeholders to manage our use of natural resources, develop products that minimize EHS impacts throughout their life cycles, reduce waste and emissions, engage with the communities where we operate, and ensure the safety and security of our associates and neighbors.
“This is our fourth sustainability report,” Gerrard added. “In previous reports, we focused on the markets we supply with our sustainable chemical solutions, our business units and how each is addressing society’s needs for sustainability, and several of our innovations to meet those needs. In this 2013 report, we look at some of the ways we address risk to ensure we are a sustainable business partner to our many different stakeholders for the years to come.”
Huntsman is reporting on 10 key metrics from the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Sustainability Reporting Guidelines for 2013. Our report generally conforms to GRI 3.1 guidelines.
“Common Bonds” also includes Huntsman’s Communication on Progress to the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC).
