Product Stewardship

CPChem is committed to product stewardship and responsible business practices. We follow guidelines outlined in our OE System to ensure safe handling and use of our products. The company conducts annual reviews of its products to assess and prioritize attention to customer feedback, regulatory changes, hazard communication documentation, transportation risks and other areas of review.

Comprehensive Product Portfolio Review

100% of our product portfolio undergoes a thorough assessment using a weighted composite score system. This evaluation measures:

Lower Carbon Products

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) helps CPChem measure the potential environmental impact of its products over the entirety of each product’s journey. Using measurements beginning at the initial sourcing of materials through production, use, and end-of-life or recycling, LCAs produce valuable insight and detailed datasets for our products.

LCA data can be used to conduct a Portfolio Sustainability Assessment (PSA). Whereas an LCA involves the study of a single product, a PSA is a comprehensive overview of an entire product portfolio to evaluate sustainability performance. Often a multi-year exercise, a full PSA requires in-depth, systematic analyses of individual products to quantify potential effects on human health and the environment.

CPChem is pursuing LCAs across all product lines to appraise each product’s carbon footprint as well as other potential environmental impacts. These efforts generate data and can uncover opportunities to reduce emissions, curb water consumption and lower energy use. Employing this type of data-based approach, we can catalyze a sustainably focused evolution of our products and reinforce the resilience of CPChem’s portfolio in all economic climates.
