Reflections on ESG Ratings and Orbia’s Commitment to Sustainability
ESG ratings play a vital role in our global journey toward a more sustainable future. At Orbia, we view these ratings as valuable tools that guide and inform our efforts to continuously enhance sustainability and overall performance. However, we recognize that certain evaluation methodologies face challenges in accurately reflecting the breadth of our practices and the complexity of our industry.
Some methodologies, for example, focus narrowly on specific material topics, overlooking the broader social initiatives and contributions we make. Inconsistencies and a lack of transparency in evaluation processes can also lead to score fluctuations, even when there are no changes to underlying performance metrics, potentially causing confusion among stakeholders. Additionally, potential conflicts of interest within the rating ecosystem present another layer of complexity that requires thoughtful management.
At Orbia, sustainability is the foundation of our business strategy, and our measurable progress reflects this commitment:
- We are steadily advancing toward achieving our climate and zero-waste-to-landfill goals.
- We are committed to achieving a net-positive water impact while supporting ecosystem preservation initiatives.
- Our safety performance continues to improve, and our people strategy has strengthened employee retention.
- Our community investments are strategically aligned with our business objectives, amplifying our positive social impact.
Beyond these efforts, we are tackling global challenges with innovative solutions in clean technology, biodiversity, circularity, and AI-driven approaches. These initiatives not only deliver value for stakeholders but also contribute meaningfully to a more sustainable future. Our Board of Directors provides strong oversight of our ESG initiatives, and our commitment is further reflected in the integration of ESG performance metrics into executive compensation.
To ensure transparency and accountability, we share detailed updates on our initiatives and progress in our Impact Report and through our Sustainability Reporting Hub. These efforts frequently position us ahead of industry peers, reinforcing our leadership in sustainability.
While we acknowledge that current ESG rating methodologies may not always capture the full scope of our practices, we continue to view these ratings as crucial tools for improvement. Our top priority is to enhance ESG performance to advance life around the world. This has motivated us to engage closely with stakeholders to identify methodologies and align with evaluation systems that best reflect our true impact and align with our vision for a more sustainable world.
We invite you to learn more about Orbia’s ESG journey. If you would like to learn more about our ratings or the actions we are taking to improve them, we would be delighted to engage further.
