Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility at LyondellBasell Industries

As one of the world’s largest producers of plastics and chemicals, our products are used by millions of people around the world, every day. We have the potential—and responsibility—to use this scale and reach to make a positive impact across our value chains.
That’s why we are working to deliver meaningful progress to address some of the world’s most pressing challenges such as helping end plastic waste in the environment, mitigating climate change and contributing to a thriving society for our employees, the communities where we operate and the people who depend on our products.

Environmental Sustainability

Addressing climate change is one of the most pressing challenges our world faces and we believe collective action and a sense of urgency are needed.

As a leader in our industry, we have an important role in driving change. We support the objectives of the Paris Agreement to limit global temperature rise to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase even further to 1.5°C.

We are committed to reducing GHG emissions from our global operations and value chain, and to delivering solutions which advance our customers’ climate ambitions and support society’s transition to a low carbon world. We believe a commitment to net zero scope 1 and scope 2 emissions by 2050 and a credible pathway to 2030 for scopes 1, 2 and 3 are critical to the long-term success of LyondellBasell.

Community Impact and Philanthropy

At LyondellBasell, we are committed to being a responsible, good neighbor in the communities where we operate. Through our global corporate citizenship program, Advancing Good, we invest in charitable organizations supporting three key focus areas: Advancing Our Communities, Advancing Our Planet, Advancing Tomorrow's Workforce.

As our team around the world produces the materials and products that are key to advancing solutions to modern challenges, we are also advancing the positive future we know is possible through employee volunteerism and investing in our communities.
