Axalta Releases 2018-19 Sustainability Report
Global liquid and powder coatings supplier Axalta just released its 2018-19 Sustainability Report, which highlights the company’s “advancements in sustainable business practices.”
The report covers a two-year period and highlights six goals:
"Sustainability is fundamental to our core values, our business and is embedded in everything we do," said Robert Bryant, Axalta's Chief Executive Officer. "From Axalta's innovative technologies that help customers save energy and increase productivity, to the ways we are making our operations safer and lowering our environmental impact, to our unwavering commitment to acting with integrity, this Sustainability Report shares the progress that our global team has collectively achieved. Many of Axalta's stakeholders are increasingly interested in sustainability topics, and this report is only one way we demonstrate our sustainability priorities and accomplishments."
In addition to a general overview, the report is broken down into several categories including supply chain, corporate governance, people, technology, report resources and operations.
Within the overview, the report breaks down the company's sustainability goals and progress. Some highlights include:
Axalta reported reductions in energy use and associated greenhouse gas emissions from operations over the reporting period, and described its efforts to advance responsible sourcing practices and human rights throughout its supply chain.
"Between 2018 and 2019, Axalta continued its commitment toward its people and local communities, and strengthened its internal talent development, employee engagement, and diversity and inclusion efforts," the company said.
"Through its Bright Futures program, the company made a difference in the communities where it operates by collaborating with partners to advance science, technology, engineering, and math education and environmental stewardship initiatives."
