Environment, social and governance broken down into the twelve areas we are actually measured on, each with an owner, a metric and a place in the quarterly pack.
ESG becomes decorative when it is written as three headings. It becomes useful when each heading resolves into named areas with a metric and an owner, and when those metrics appear in the same pack as revenue and safety.
Below is our full breakdown. Environment covers climate, circularity, waste and pollution, and the safety of what we sell. Social covers social value, human rights, corporate citizenship and operational responsibility. Governance covers leadership, business ethics, regulatory and trade compliance, and risk management.
We report against GRI today and are building to ESRS for FY27, including the double-materiality assessment that determines what belongs in the report in the first place.
Emissions inventory, absolute reduction targets, energy transition at sites and the transition plan behind the 2045 commitment.
Recycled and renewable feedstocks, returnable packaging, and recovery routes that bring process residues back into use.
Segregation at source, landfill diversion, effluent quality against permit, and abatement of emissions to air at packing lines.
Substitution of restricted and high-hazard substances, and portfolio composition measured by certified sustainable attribute.
Local employment, apprenticeships, STEM outreach and procurement from small and local suppliers where the material allows.
Risk-based due diligence to tier two, forced-labour screening, and a grievance channel open to workers in the supply chain.
Community partnerships around terminals, disaster-relief chemistry donations, and paid volunteering time.
Process safety, occupational health, training hours and inclusion, measured at site level under Responsible Care.
Board composition and independence, ESG accountability at executive level, and sustainability performance in the executive scorecard.
Code of conduct, anti-bribery and anti-corruption controls, conflict-of-interest declarations and protected whistleblowing.
Substance registration, classification, sanctions and export-control screening, and hazardous-goods compliance on every movement.
Enterprise risk register including climate, supply and compliance risk, reviewed quarterly with mitigation owners named.
Double materiality refreshed and area owners confirmed.
Metric pack assembled from source systems, gaps flagged as estimates.
Steering committee reviews performance and escalates anything off track.
Annual report, ratings submissions and customer data requests.
A product carbon footprint, a supplier audit status, a substitution study, or a completed customer ESG questionnaire. We answer within two working days and name the person handling it.
