DALLAS, November 19, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Celanese Corporation announced the publication of its 2023-2024 Sustainability Report, The Chemistry of Change, and its complementary 2023-2024 Sustainability Index. This year’s report underscores the company’s expansion of its lower-carbon footprint solutions that support evolving customer needs, commitment to driving innovation across its businesses and supply chains, and efforts to build on its emissions tracking and reporting capabilities. The associated index provides a comprehensive view of resources and disclosures, including alignment with sustainability frameworks, policies, practices, and metrics.

"Chemistry is key to helping us unlock and solve many of the sustainability challenges the world is facing today," said Lori Ryerkerk, Celanese chair, chief executive officer and president. "Our team has been implementing solutions to reach our own business and sustainability goals and to equip our customers with products that can help them reach their goals. As we reflect on this year’s accomplishments, we are motivated by the sustainable growth opportunities that we believe will continue to benefit generations to come."

Celanese advanced its commitment to sustainability across four strategic pillars:

Advancing Safe and Sustainable Customer Solutions

  • Launching a carbon capture and utilization (CCU) project at its Clear Lake, Texas, facility, through its Fairway Methanol joint venture with Mitsui & Co, Ltd., to use recycled CO2 to help reduce the carbon footprint of its products.

  • Becoming the first company to receive the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) Carbon Footprint Certification (CFC) for its low-carbon CCU methanol.

  • Partnering with Under Armour® to bring the first commercialized product containing NEOLASTTM, a more sustainable spandex-alternative fiber for performance stretch fabrics, to customers.

  • Consolidating Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) data into a centralized system with updated sources for more accessible and consistent data.

Preserving the Environment

  • Integrating the legacy DuPont Mobility & Materials (M&M) facilities into its 2021 and 2022 environmental data and re-establishing its 2021 baselines to reflect the combined business.

  • Updating its water risk assessment process to incorporate additional tools and further evaluate opportunities to mitigate water risk across its facilities.

  • Developing methodologies for quantifying Scope 3 GHG emissions for additional relevant categories of Celanese operations.
