Trinseo (NYSE: TSE), a global materials solutions provider and manufacturer of plastics, latex binders, and synthetic rubber, announced the release of its 2020 Sustainability & Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Report. The Report showcases how Trinseo excels in its safety and environmental performance while developing innovative solutions that shape a more sustainable world.
\nThis is the 10th report since the Company\u2019s formation in 2010 and has been prepared in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards Core Option. GRI is the leading independent organization providing a common language and framework for public sustainability reporting, allowing more global comparability and better quality of information about company sustainability impacts.
\n\u201cSince our founding a decade ago, Trinseo has maintained sustainability as a core value,\u201d said Frank Bozich, President and Chief Executive Officer. \u201cAfter joining Trinseo as CEO last year, I\u2019ve come to understand this is deeply embedded within the Company and our employees are truly passionate about improving our world by addressing complex materials challenges and delivering products that are intrinsic to daily life.\u201d
\nAs Trinseo celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, the Company believed it was high time to embark on an ambitious, measurable, and achievable longer-term sustainability journey by announcing its 2030 Sustainability Goals earlier this month. This ambitious plan includes 15 long-term goals under five main categories that target climate change, sustainable products, supplier responsibility, responsible operations, and a sustainable workforce. These goals were created, in part, from a critical assessment of the Company\u2019s capabilities as well as valuable feedback from customers and suppliers.<\/p>\n
