VYNOVA

Climate change presents a transformative opportunity for Vynova to innovate and lead in reducing environmental impact while fostering sustainable growth. As a key contributor to global manufacturing, the chemicals industry has the potential to drive significant efforts to reduce its impact on climate change. By embracing sustainable chemistry, optimising energy use, and minimising emissions, we can not only mitigate climate risks but also enhance the resilience of our operations and products.

Our Climate Action Focus Area encompasses our actions to promote greenhouse gas emissions measuring, management, and ultimately reduction.

PVC is one of the most versatile and widely used polymers worldwide, playing a vital role in enhancing safety, efficiency, and comfort across industries such as construction, healthcare, and water distribution. As an intrinsically low-carbon plastic, PVC stands out for its durability, cost-effectiveness, and ability to be recycled multiple times without compromising its core properties. This makes it a key material in advancing circularity and unlocking new opportunities for sustainable innovation. By embracing circular solutions, we can maximise resource efficiency, extend product lifecycles, and create new value from recycled materials. 

Our Circularity Focus Area promotes circular economy principles within our operations and products. By encouraging waste management through waste prevention, sustainable additive use, and end-of-life PVC waste recycling, we are contributing to a collective response from society, governments, and industry to prevent plastic leakage into the environment and transition to a circular economy.

At Vynova, we have a distinct responsibility to mitigate our environmental impact and contribute to a cleaner, healthier environment for current and future generations. We therefore place critical importance to the areas of pollution, harmful substance management, waste management, plastics management, and water management, and strive to innovate and implement best practices that will reduce our environmental footprint while maintaining our commitment to quality and safety.

Our Environmental Responsibility Focus Area centres the environmental impact beyond greenhouse gas emissions that our operations can incur. We are proactively reducing air emissions and improving water and waste management to enhance overall environmental performance.

Responsible procurement has emerged as a critical imperative in today's global business landscape, transcending individual company operations to encompass entire value chains and industries. We are deeply committed to caring for people and the planet, applying this principle alongside our core Vynova values (Connect, Commit, Improve, Respect) to guide every procurement activity and decision. 

By focusing on responsible procurement, we extend our sustainability efforts beyond our immediate operations. As an industry leader, we acknowledge the significant impact we can instil through collaboration and modelling of best practices throughout our value chain.

We recognise that social sustainability is as crucial as environmental sustainability and aim to ensure that our operations positively impact not only the planet but people as well.

Our People & Society Focus Area encompasses our initiatives around workplace diversity and inclusion, community engagement, partnering with education institutions and initiatives, as well as the element of safety from our safety, health, environment and quality (SHEQ) strategy.
