DyStar publishes its sixth sustainability report
09/09/2016
This latest report is the first to be aligned with the Global Reporting Initiative’s (GRI) G4 reporting guidelines. It builds on years of “focused commitment” on the part of DyStar teams in 23 countries.
The company aims to reduce “resource consumption and waste production intensities” by 20% by 2020. The report for 2015 represents the halfway point in a ten-year project. Progress it reports among the latest results includes a 16% reduction in energy use compared to 2011, despite production volumes going up by 14% over the same period.
The 2015 report also provides new insight into the company’s approach to research and development, giving readers an understanding of how “a focused application of green chemistry principles” is affecting “stakeholders across the textile value chain”.
