For the first time, the company’s report aligns with topics and metrics from the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) disclosure for the chemicals industry. 

In 2020, the company took action to further its sustainability efforts including the following:

  • Established an internal cross-functional ESG working group to more effectively advance its sustainability initiatives.

  • Engaged an international environmental consulting firm to help it complete a baseline assessment of Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions of its manufacturing footprint.

  • Completed a company-wide assessment of water usage and inventoried its usage in areas of potential water stress using the World Resources Institute’s (WRI) Water Risk Atlas tool, Aqueduct.

  • Established key performance indicators that will be used to measure and report progress on energy intensity, water intensity and hazardous waste intensity going forward.

A copy of the report will be posted in the Sustainability section of Sensient’s website.

Paul Manning, chairman, president and chief executive officer, said, “Sensient has a long-standing commitment to sustainability, as is evidenced by our seed-to-shelf program, our Certasure program and our commitment to giving back to the communities in which we operate. We believe that these efforts, along with the numerous others outlined in our report, ensure that we operate as a sustainable and profitable company."
