H.B. Fuller is working to build a solid foundation of sustainability. In the company’s latest sustainability report, it outlines the progress H.B. Fuller has made toward its sustainability targets for 2025. These targets include reduction of energy and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity by 20% and waste and water intensity by 10% by 2025, compared to a base year of 2014. Beginning in 2021, they embarked on an advanced stage with the creation of a new sustainability technical subcommittee comprised of a multidisciplinary team of experts on various areas of intervention directly related to environment, social and governance (ESG) matters. This subcommittee focuses on continuous improvement, integration, and transparency across the enterprise, serving as a lever to develop, monitor, and report on sustainability related KPIs and programs.
For the November issue, ASI reached out to H.B. Fuller to understand more about its commitment to sustainability. Jonathan Blaine, Global Environmental Compliance and Sustainability Leader, H.B. Fuller, was kind enough to answer our questions.
