Advancing Sustainable Development and Global Goals

Adopted by all UN member states in 2015, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure peace and prosperity. These goals encompass three key dimensions: economic, social and environmental sustainability. CPChem has identified 11 SDGs that closely align with its business. We aim to harness our product portfolio, value chain and industry leadership to help mitigate negative impacts and advance the global objectives of each SDG.

Embedding SDGs within CPChem

We believe embedding SDGs into our organization promotes creative opportunities for sustainable development and helps employees and stakeholders connect more deeply to these important initiatives.

Zero Hunger

Through our products and philanthropy, we look to support more sustainable food production and an increase in the stability of food supplies around the world.

Good Health and Well-being

We aim to improve quality of life and elevate our global communities. CPChem products are critical building blocks for many items used in the healthcare industry. Through the principles of Our Journey to Zero, we prioritize health, safety and reliable operations, allowing us to offer valuable, life-enriching solutions around the world.

Quality Education

Providing equitable access to quality education helps in the development of our employees, creating a strong culture of safety and Caring by Choice. We are committed to providing our employees with the education needed to drive their growth and our strategy. We invest in enrichment programs that build awareness, knowledge and help provide equitable access to Science, Technology, Engineering and Math training to prepare tomorrow’s workforce.

Clean Water and Sanitation

We believe that access to clean water and sanitation is a human right, and the scarcity of potable water is a global issue. We promote water stewardship and make efforts to use water responsibly at our sites around the world. Our high-density polyethylene pipes are a major contributor to accessing clean drinking water. HDPE pipe systems significantly limit leaks, require minimal maintenance and boast longer service lives than competing materials for critical infrastructure we need every day.

Affordable and Clean Energy

We are working to advance renewable energy solutions, optimize energy consumption and minimize energy intensities. CPChem products can help save energy. Polyalphaolefins used in immersion cooling and lightweight HDPE found in many vehicles are just two examples of how our products are increasing efficiencies and contributing to a lower carbon future.

Decent Work and Economic Growth

Our tagline, Performance by design. Caring by choice. ™, speaks to how we prioritize and approach high standards for operational excellence, ethics and human rights, and employee development and growth. Acting on these concepts is critical for economic growth and enhancing the quality of life of our employees and communities. We recognize the choices we make for our material and service providers must also reflect these standards, which are outlined in our Supplier Principles of Conduct.

Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure

We champion research and ingenuity, advancing innovative ideas aimed at reducing our environmental footprint, optimizing efficiencies, promoting circularity and creating new opportunities for collaboration. We work jointly with diverse organizations to address global issues and promote sustainable growth.

Responsible Consumption and Production

We are enhancing our business and pursuing solutions that seek to use resources more responsibly. CPChem belongs to several industry associations and participates in many initiatives exploring ways to address global issues like plastic waste while promoting more sustainable operations.

Climate Action

We are taking action for the climate by furthering efforts to reduce our carbon intensity, explore opportunities in renewable energy and improve our resilience to climate risks.

Life Below Water

We support efforts to eliminate plastic waste on land and water. Mismanaged plastics can have negative impacts on the environment, which is why we are working to advance a circular economy and protect Life Below Water.

Partnerships

We collaborate with strategic stakeholders like community groups, NGOs, industry associations and others to find opportunities to accelerate sustainable change locally and abroad.

Goals for Good

In 2024, CPChem introduced its #GoalsForGood campaign, which highlighted employees engaging with SDGs and the positive impacts carrying into the business and employee communities. On internal platforms, employees posted about their connections to the SDGs and motivated colleagues to share how they were making a difference using stories, photos and more.
