THE WOODLANDS, Texas,
Oct. 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/
-- Huntsman Corporation (NYSE: HUN) today published its 2017
corporate sustainability report, "Bringing Chemistry to Life:
Growth and Sustainability in Asia
Pacific," on its web site at
www.huntsman.com/sustainability. The report discusses
Huntsman's commitment to Asia
Pacific (APAC) and its role in the economic and social
development of the region.
Huntsman has regional headquarters, production sites, technology
centers, sales offices and customer service centers throughout
APAC. Approximately 3,500 Huntsman employees work and live in
APAC, and more than one-quarter of the company's $8 billion in revenues were generated in the
region in 2017.
"Over half the world's population lives in APAC, and the
region's growth is phenomenal," said Corporate Sustainability
Officer Ron Gerrard. "However,
such extraordinary growth can bring with it challenging
socio-economic trends, like increased urbanization, greater need
for adequate food and clean water, and more transportation, energy
and power requirements. It gives me great pride to see what
Huntsman's products, production facilities and associates in the
region are doing to address these issues and to provide solutions
that reduce negative impacts and create a more sustainable
future."
The 2017 report includes Huntsman's annual Communication on
Progress to the United Nations Global Compact, as well as a variety
of stories that demonstrate the company's commitment to the United
Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
This is Huntsman's eighth sustainability report since launching
its corporate sustainability initiative in 2010.
