message from our chair and CEO
At Ashland, we live by the principle that what gets measured, gets improved
In October 2023, our science-based targets received approval, bolstering Ashland’s purpose to responsibly solve for a better world, and highlighting the dedicated efforts of Ashland's global solvers who have committed to ambitious, precise, and impactful goals for our company, our communities, our value chain, and our world.
When combined with environmental, social and governance (ESG) our new technology platform innovations continue charting a metamorphic journey for Ashland and our customers and suppliers, helping deliver on collective business goals in ways that sustainably address both people and planet. Our ESG disciplines are driving a new portfolio powered by innovation and market expertise, with products that are increasingly natural, nature-derived, biodegradable and sustainable in use.
Our materiality assessment underscores the structure behind the science of ESG at Ashland. Our sustainable sourcing, operations, and solutions are a testament to the women and men at Ashland who have made it their life’s work to solve some of the world’s most complex challenges.
While many obstacles remain, this report and our science-based targets are tangible, achievable examples of Ashland’s innovation at work. We acknowledge that details, which are often technical, complex, and challenging, matter. And our comprehensive strategy recognizes that diversity, in all its forms, powers solving.
Ashland’s conscious and proactive mindset for ESG enables a brighter and stronger future with more sustainable and profitable solutions for customers and market growth in every corner of the world. I am proud to see our initiatives come to life in this report.
