Sustainability at DyStar
Since the release of our first Sustainability Report, we have set the example on sustainability within the industry. Our annual Sustainability Report now puts us ahead of competition, and establishes us as an industry leader in sustainability.
We have committed to annually publishing DyStar’s Sustainability Report and we are also expanding the scope of Sustainability Reporting by including many more performance indicators for the next year.
Our first sustainability report reflects our performance in 2010, the first year for which we measured our performance. We have established 2010 as the base year for comparing our future performance.
We are now focusing on setting realistic targets to continuously improve our sustainability performance in areas that we consider as important to our business and our stakeholders.
Our Sustainability Strategy
Our Sustainability Strategy is two-fold: reduce our own environmental impact and help our customers to reduce their environmental impact.
We have identified energy, greenhouse gas emissions, water, and waste as the main environmental impacts that we should focus on. Our target is to reduce environmental impact in these four areas by 30% by 2025. Our aim is to achieve this goal by reducing our impact by 2% every year.
Caring for The Future
We believe that our sustainability efforts to reduce energy consumption, water use, waste, and other resources will make us more cost-effective and competitive.
As a company, we also feel our responsibility towards society is important. One of the ways by which we can effectively contribute to society is to use our expertise to solve problems that societies face. We do this by collaborating with local governments, research institutions, and universities to develop affordable solutions in the area of drinking water, water conservation, green energy, and environmental education.
Employees Sustainability Campaigns
Furthermore, the company had been actively engaging its employees to take part in sustainability campaigns organized by the Global Sustainability team to raise awareness and promote environmentally responsible practices among the company’s workforce. Employees are empowered to also contribute ideas that can be implemented in the company’s operation and exceptional contributions are recognized and rewarded.
By actively involving its employees in sustainability campaigns and encouraging them to contribute their ideas, the company fosters a culture of sustainability, where every employee plays a role in making a positive impact on the environment. Through these collaborative efforts, the company is able to drive positive change and create a more sustainable future for the organization and the community at large.
