Climate Change

Climate Change

There is an urgent need for sustainable products that is backed by consumer-driven demand that companies take responsibility for their environmental footprint.

Trinseo’s commitment to protecting the environment is central to everything we do. We continuously evaluate our environmental impact and improve our processes to promote resource conservation throughout the life cycles of our products and prevent adverse environmental impacts and waste. We follow the American Chemistry Council’s Responsible Care® Product Safety Code guidelines, which require companies to include product safety and stewardship as part of their management systems. Our business plans are based on this standard, and annual self-assessments assist in monitoring progress and performance.

Climate change has a significant impact on our world – from extreme weather conditions to rising sea levels. We acknowledge the urgent need to address climate change and support global efforts to combat it.

Our Climate Change category is just one part of our 2030 Sustainability Goals, which together, will help us achieve a more sustainable future for our company and the communities we serve.

2030 Sustainability Goals
Of our 17 Sustainability Goals, the first three are dedicated to reducing our environmental footprint by focusing on our decarbonization strategy and increasing our use of renewable resources.

We continue to drive energy efficiency projects, and in 2024, these projects resulted in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions reductions of 30% compared to the previous year.  Overall, Trinseo has reduced our GHG emissions intensity by 35% since our baseline year of 2017. 

In 2024, we advanced non-fossil energy efforts by signing two solar power purchase agreements for our Rheinmünster, Germany, and Tessenderlo, Belgium, sites. Additionally, we installed solar panels at our polycarbonate (PC) dissolution pilot facility in the Netherlands. This has resulted in 22% of our company’s share of electricity coming from renewable sources. 

We received limited assurance after engaging ERM CVS, an independent third-party assurance provider, to have our 2023 Scope 3 Inventory verified.
