DyStar has just announced the release of its third annual sustainability report which provides a valuable insight into the company’s
progress and initiatives towards sustainability during 2012 following the guidelines of Global Reporting Initiative (GRI).
Some key points include the company’s reduction of its GHG emissions by approximately 13 per cent which is a great step towards its internal target of a 20 per cent reduction by 2020. The success of DyStar’s initiatives has further affirmed the company’s dedication to providing the most sustainable solutions and products to meet customers’ needs, while protecting the environment.
Based on a twin-track approach towards sustainability, Dr. Charu Jain, DyStar’s Global Sustainability Manager, elaborated: “First we reduce our own impact by being responsible in the use of resources. Secondly, while delivering the best quality products to our customers, we also assisted them in decreasing their own environmental and social footprint through the use of clean, safe and efficient products and Best Available Technology. The publication of the 2012 Report underlines the fact that Sustainability Reporting will continue to play a significant role in the DyStar strategy as it helps us to engage with all our stakeholders and to maintain our leadership in this area of work”.
