Our Sustainability Strategy

Sustainability is central to our business.

As a global company, Trinseo has the sustainable materials, technologies, and solutions to drive innovation and deliver cutting-edge, sustainably advantaged products to our customers around the world, along with the local, agile teams needed to adapt to the ever-changing sustainability landscape. Our strategy is focused on materializing a future anchored in understanding the environmental, economic, and human impact of our decisions. This guiding objective is intrinsic to who we are and what we do each day.

Since the launch of our 2030 Sustainability Goals in 2020, we have transformed our efforts into a purposeful, comprehensive strategy that is materializing results. Our work in sustainability is driven by our Core Values, as we often look to them to guide our Company forward.

Governance

Our Governance structure helps deliver actionable change by taking a top-down approach to sustainability. As part of this approach, our Sustainability Business and Services (SBS) team was established in 2021 under the leadership of our Chief Sustainability Officer to develop and oversee the Company’s sustainability roadmap and provide sustainability services to the business units.

The team is directly responsible for oversight of each of our five primary Sustainability Goal categories: Product Portfolio, Supplier Responsibility, Climate Change, Responsible Operations, and Sustainable Workforce. Through the development of the Climate, Operations, and Suppliers Council; Sustainable Business Development Council; and Environmental, Social, and Governance Council, the SBS team has implemented initiatives to advance outcomes toward our goals.

Aligning Our Efforts with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

We utilize the SDGs to help guide our sustainability efforts, as they provide a shared, global blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. As we continue to strive forward with our goals, we are evaluating the opportunity to expand and refine our alignment with SDGs.
