Transitioning to net zero emissions
In 2023, we launched our net zero ambition, which was developed with the goal of supporting the Paris Agreement’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction pathway.
For our scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions, we are aiming to achieve a 50% reduction in emission intensity from our operated assets by 2030, before reaching net zero emissions by 2050. In addition to ongoing operational costs, we have allocated capital investment funding of up to $20 million annually between 2026 and 2030, to support our net zero ambition. These funds will be invested into sustainability projects as and when appropriate. We are also working with energy providers and site partners to improve our energy mix.
Our ambition also extends to our scope 3 emissions, and we have defined a preliminary roadmap to reducing scope 3 emissions by 20% by 2030. This will enable us to develop lower-carbon products and help our customers to achieve their GHG emissions objectives, thereby driving improvements across our value chain.
Infineum has leading safety performance in the chemicals industry and we believe that anyone working for Infineum should return home at the end of each day in the same state of health and wellbeing as they began.
Safety is ingrained in our values and culture, and recognised, shared and enforced by everyone at Infineum. However, we’re always looking to improve and keep safety in focus. Therefore, if an injury does occur to anyone working for Infineum, we investigate fully to understand what happened, identify the root causes and put in place mitigating actions to minimise the risk of it happening again. We believe that a working environment where nobody gets hurt is right and achievable and we will not be satisfied until we have achieved this.
Our commitment to zero harm extends to the environment in which we work. All our global manufacturing sites have achieved ISO 14001 certification. Infineum is committed to the safe management and handling of chemicals throughout their life cycle and our target every year is to achieve zero environmental incidents throughout our operations. We strive to minimise the pressure on natural resources through resource efficiency practices.
Local water withdrawal and waste generation targets have been set for each of our sites. We have also carried out cradle-to-gate life-cycle assessments on our entire product portfolio, the outcomes of which will be used to inform product development decisions and minimise the environmental impacts of our products.
We want every colleague to be themselves; to feel valued, have their voice heard, and have equal opportunity to reach their highest potential. We want to reflect our communities and markets, enabling all colleagues to work and develop in a safe and respectful environment and maximising the value that is created by our diversity. We have set ourselves ethnic and gender representation ambitions for senior roles. We have local DE&I champions all around the world and they play a key role in helping to make DE&I come to life at all our sites. They are supported by executive DE&I sponsors who help to formally embed DE&I throughout the organisation.
