Environment
We implement a holistic environmental management system, aimed at protecting people and the environment while also generating value for LYB, our customers and shareholders. Our environmental management is organized around four areas: emissions to air, water and land; water use and availability; waste; and biodiversity and ecosystem services.
Our approach to environmental management is aimed at driving compliance, generating value and enabling a more sustainable future:
- Assess and manage environmental aspects and impacts
- Maintain our environmental management system
- Promote excellent environmental performance
Our environmental management system
Alignment with international frameworks
Our EMS is aligned with relevant international frameworks, such as the International Organization for Standardization’s (ISO) Environmental Management System Standard (ISO 14001) and the American Chemistry Council’s (ACC) Responsible Care Management System (RCMS).
Embedding environmental considerations into our business processes
By identifying opportunities to improve our environmental performance, we can often reduce our environmental footprint while also adding commercial value. Proactive emissions management, for example, may yield cost savings through improved efficiencies and lower compliance costs.
For more information on our approach to environmental management refer to our Sustainability Report.
