LyondellBasell has been named to Newsweek Magazine’s 2021 list of “America’s Most Responsible Companies.” This is the second time LyondellBasell appears on the list, which debuted in 2020 and recognizes companies for their performance in the areas of environmental, social, and corporate governance, the company said in a news release.
The plastics, chemicals, and refining company said it advanced its sustainability agenda in 2020 by setting ambitious targets for recycled and renewable-based polymers, starting up the company’s MoReTec molecular recycling pilot plant at its Ferrara, Italy, site, and expanding efforts in its supplier code of conduct.
“While awards and recognition are never our primary objective, it’s gratifying that our employees’ efforts to help eliminate plastic waste in the environment, address climate change, and provide solutions that support a thriving society are being recognized,” said Bob Patel, LyondellBasell CEO. “We believe these efforts are critical to addressing some of the world’s biggest challenges in addition to creating long-term value for our stakeholders.”
