The story
In 2022, Simply Sustainable began working with Venator, a leading global chemical company, to develop its annual ESG and sustainability report. Situated within a carbon-intensive industry, Venator faced many drivers to report on its environmental and social impacts and to illustrate the actions it was taking to reduce them. Venator was eager to publicise its efforts within 2022 to calculate and reduce its carbon footprint across all facilities and to find secondary uses for several by-products emanating from its operations.
By engaging extensively with a wide variety of stakeholders across several countries at Venator, Simply Sustainable gained deep insight into Venator’s approach to managing important ESG topics. This included, but was not limited to: Diversity, Equity and Inclusion; Health and Safety; Greenhouse Gas Emissions; and Waste Management. The level of detail to this engagement enabled Simply Sustainable to offer a clear and comprehensive explanation of Venator’s progress and future aspirations, in each of these areas.
As Venator sought to report with reference to the GRI’s disclosures, Simply Sustainable worked with several data owners across the business to collect the relevant data. We then worked to integrate this data into the body of the report, whilst simultaneously creating a GRI content index to clearly delineate which disclosures had been referenced or satisfied.
