A New Era of Transparency with the First Public Sustainability Report

“I am pleased to share Austin Powder’s 2023 Sustainability Report, highlighting a year of progress towards defining and implementing our sustainability strategy,” says Global Director of Strategy, Sustainability and Innovation David Fernandez. “Austin Powder’s mission is to improve the world we live in through the safe and responsible use of explosives. We fully understand our stakeholders’ expectations for us to operate as a responsible business. Sustainability has been identified as one of Austin Powder’s strategic goals, prompting us to incorporate the Corporate Sustainability function into our Global Leadership team.”

“The sustainable and social results are the outcome of the work and commitment of the entire Austin Powder team, and I am convinced this journey will lead us to improve our practices, seek new ways to innovate and lead in sustainability,” says John D. Rathbun, President & CEO of Austin Powder Holdings Company.

Key advancements in the 2023-2026 Sustainability Master Plan include reassessing impacts on climate change and biodiversity, conducting Life Cycle Assessments, and fostering innovation for sustainable products like the lead-free primary explosive for detonators. The closure of the AOP plant led to a 40% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in Mexico, and efforts to decarbonize CO2 at the USN Plant have reduced emissions equivalent to taking 11,616 cars off the road. Despite challenges, Austin Powder remains committed to safety, quality, and stakeholder engagement, ensuring its operations align with sustainability goals and industry leadership.
