“At Austin Powder, sustainability is not just a responsibility—it is a core value that shapes how we operate, innovate, and contribute to a better future for our employees, customers, and communities,” says John D. Rathbun, President & CEO.
We are excited to announce the publication of our 2024 Sustainability Report, a milestone that reflects the dedication, resilience, and innovation of every global team member.
This year’s report highlights meaningful progress in reducing environmental impact, fostering a thriving workplace, and driving sustainable innovation. From the final closure of our Nitric Acid plant in Mexico, which resulted in significant reductions in waste, emissions, and resource consumption, to the installation of solar panels at our Bentong plant in Malaysia and the development of innovative and sustainable solutions, every achievement is the result of collective effort and commitment.
A Shared Journey
As we continue our sustainability journey, we recognize that every team member plays a vital role. Our employees’ ideas, actions, and dedication shape a more responsible and innovative company. The progress outlined in this report directly results from their hard work and commitment to our values.
Looking ahead, we recognize the challenges and opportunities ahead of us. In 2025, we will reshape our Net Zero roadmap and decarbonization plan, enhance corporate environmental policies, and continue attracting top talent to our sustainability team.
Sustainability is—and will continue to be—a key driver of value for our business and stakeholders,” says David Fernandez, Global Director Strategy, Sustainability, and Innovation
