Stahl publishes new ESG report
Leather chemicals producer Stahl has published a new environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) report, outlining its sustainable development ambitions and highlighting its achievements over the last year.
Stahl introduced an ESG roadmap last year, setting out commitments and targets for the next ten years.
Achievements so far include a 15% reduction in CO2 emissions from Stahl’s own operations. The company also pointed to its gold rating for sustainability from EcoVadis, a Paris-based evidence-based assessment platform that reviews the performance of organisations in meeting sustainability targets.
On presenting the report, Stahl’s chief executive, Maarten Heijbroek, said: “In my first full year as CEO, I have been impressed by the progress Stahl has made. The company’s ambitious ESG roadmap continues to drive our efforts toward more responsible chemistry and transparency throughout the supply chain.”
He said the company would accelerate its carbon emission reductions, adding that this will require leadership, collaboration with value-chain partners and a concerted effort from all Stahl colleagues. “We are fortunate to be working with a highly motivated group of employees at Stahl, and I have no doubt we will achieve our ambitious goals,” he said.
