Ashland Releases 2021 Environment, Social, and Governance Report
Ashland Inc. has released its 2021 environment, social, and governance (ESG) report, which the company said demonstrates a clear link between its long-range strategic plans and detailed ESG progress. The 2021 ESG report, available digitally, frames the company’s progress across a detailed materiality matrix that shows the interrelationships between ESG issues.
The report expands on Ashland’s February 2021 commitment to develop science-based targets that are aligned with the ambitious aim of the Paris Climate Accord to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 °C above preindustrial levels. Ashland has made the United Nations (UN) Global Compact and its principles part of the company’s business strategy, culture, and day-to-day operations, focusing on three key domains: sustainable sourcing, operations, and solutions.
