Orion Engineered Carbons, a specialty chemicals company announces that it was upgraded to a “B” score by the nonprofit organization CDP, recognizing Orion has addressed the environmental impact of its businesses and ensures good environmental management.
Progress with Sustainability
The London-based CDP, formerly known as the “
Carbon Disclosure Project,” operates a global system that enables companies to report their environmental impact. CDP assesses the information with its own methodology and provides a score.
“
Our ‘B’ score is the latest example of the tremendous progress we have made in recent years with sustainability,” Orion CEO Corning Painter said. “
Accountability is one of Orion’s core values, so we are committed to reporting openly and transparently about our climate program – especially the CO2 emissions reduction measures we have implemented and the success we’ve had protecting the environment and our communities.”
Since 2017, Orion has disclosed its climate-related performance through CDP and until now received a “
C” score, indicating an awareness level of engagement. CDP says companies with a “
B” score have reached the management level. They “
have addressed the environmental impacts of their business and ensure good environmental management,” said the organization.
CDP says its “
A” list is for companies that have advanced beyond awareness and management to become leaders on environmental transparency and action.
