Stahl, a world leader in specialty chemistry for coatings, processing, and treatments for everyday materials which is headquartered in The Netherlands, has published the 2019 Environment, Social & Governance (ESG) report. The company has significantly reduced greenhouse gas emissions and workplace accidents while increasing its commitment to chemical compliance.
The report covers Stahl’s key activities over the year and corresponds to the company’s strategy and the desire among stakeholders for transparency regarding its environmental, social responsibility and governance commitments. The report is available in two digital versions (full report & highlights) and a limited-run print version.
For the report, Stahl has, for the first time, adopted the commonly used ESG terminology to assess the specific actions that it has taken on corporate social responsibility. Stahl’s ESG activities are aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) and throughout the report Stahl provides updates on those SDGs on which it believes it can make the greatest impact.
2019 also saw Stahl launch its responsible chemistry initiative. By using low impact manufacturing chemicals, biotechnology to replace non-renewable resources, and by contributing to circularity, Stahl aims to reduce the environmental footprint of its supply chains.
Stahl has reduced its CO2 emissions by 25 per cent since 2015. Switching to renewable energy at European sites and investing in long-term energy efficiency equipment have been key contributors in this achievement. The reduction is in line with the Paris Climate Agreement – an agreement within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), relative to greenhouse gas emissions, mitigation, adaption, and finance, according to the report by Stahl.
As a supplier of chemical products, Stahl considers the health and safety of its employees to be its primary responsibility. In 2019, the company introduced the Road to Zero (R20) safety awareness campaign and recorded a drop in the frequency of total recorded injuries
A significant ESG highlight in 2019 was the certification of Stahl’s global leather portfolio in the Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals Gateway. The certification of over 1,200 products, from both the company’s wet-end and leather finishing portfolios, underlines Stahl’s commitment to transparency in the complex world of chemical substance compliance.
