“Trinseo is thrilled to have received yet another outstanding rating ,” said Francesca Reverberi, SVP and Chief Sustainability Officer at Trinseo. “Besides our continuous effort in realizing our goals on climate change, supplier engagement is an inseparable part in our sustainability journey. Trinseo believes a circular economy can only be achieved through concerted efforts along the value chain. We have concrete plans in decarbonizing our operations and working closely with like-minded suppliers is essential to success”.
