Sustainability
At Albemarle, we believe sustainability is a journey…
A never-ending pursuit that requires time, attention and commitment to ensure a meaningful and positive impact on our world. It’s also an opportunity to challenge ourselves to break barriers by setting higher standards, improving our performance, and doing the right things the right way. In 2019 Albemarle took a different approach to sustainability by conducting a materiality assessment, in which some of our key stakeholders helped us to not only review our environmental, social and governance efforts. They assisted us in identifying, assessing, and prioritizing the issues that we should be looking at and reporting on. Guided by our new sustainability framework, we are focusing on the issues that matter most to our stakeholders and those that have the greatest potential for contributing to our company’s short- and long-term success.
