Sustainability Report: Taking climate action & navigating the net zero transition

Creating an emissions reduction roadmap with value front and center

 

How is LYB meeting ambitious emissions reduction goals across its global manufacturing base in ways that add value to the industries it serves?

In a July 2024 episode of The LYB Podcast, host Deepi Sidhu spoke with Chris Cain, Senior Vice President of Net Zero Transition Strategy at LYB, about how LYB is making value-added carbon reduction a reality in its manufacturing centers and with its low-carbon polymer solutions. Chris discussed key outcomes of the 2023 LYB Sustainability Report: Everyday Sustainability—specifically, how LYB is implementing a strategy centered on collaboration, innovation and accountability to drive real progress toward its emission reduction goals.

Chris highlighted the work of the Circular and Low Carbon Solutions team in developing lower-carbon polymers that help customers in diverse industries — from automotive and consumer goods to medical supplies and water treatment — meet their own sustainability targets without compromising product performance.

Chris also shared how he's meeting his global responsibilities while splitting time between Houston and the Netherlands—two places that represent both the LYB reach and commitment to a sustainable future.
