Our Sustainability Commitment
Through our commitment to operate responsibly, conserve resources, and develop innovative performance materials, we will be relentless in our pursuit of solving sustainability challenges and achieving our net zero ambition.
Our sustainability commitment is deeply rooted in our culture of leadership and excellence. We seek to lead the industry not only in safety and environmental performance but also across a broad range of sustainability matters that include key social and governance priorities. We believe that long-term success requires a commitment to sustainability informed by our shared purpose and values and balanced by input from a broad set of stakeholders.
To reach our aspirations, we have defined strategic initiatives and goals organized under three pillars — Building a Better Future Together, Acting Responsibly for the Planet, and Caring for Our People and Communities. These pillars are informed by what is most material and relevant to Cabot and the needs of our diverse stakeholders.
We will achieve our sustainability ambitions by leveraging our strengths and utilizing a multifaceted approach focused on four key elements: Innovation, Collaboration, Advocacy, and Leadership.
- Innovation – We will identify and make investments in product innovations and technology advancements that support environmental progress, including the transition to net zero and advancing a more circular economy.
- Collaboration – We will expand and deepen our collaboration with customers, suppliers, and outside experts. Together, we will work to advance new technologies, products, and infrastructure that enhance our collective sustainability performance.
- Advocacy – We will advocate for effective regulatory frameworks and policies as well as the development of new standards and methods to support long-term sustainability initiatives.
- Leadership – We will drive a culture of sustainability leadership both internally and externally. This leadership stance includes setting near-term objectives through our 2025 sustainability goals and planning for longer-term actions to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050. We will share best practices and actively engage with industry groups and business partners across our value chain to foster a sustainability mindset.
