Toronto, Ontario — Axalta is taking a big step forward in the ongoing effort toward a more sustainable industry, announcing its commitment to reduce 50 percent of certain greenhouse gas emissions in its operations by 2030.
This announcement pushes the global coatings developer into good position to achieve carbon neutrality by 2040, ten years ahead of the deadline set by the Paris Agreement on Climate Change.
“Today, we are coupling our commitment to technology, innovation and people first with our commitment to building a more sustainable future,” said president and CEO of Axalta, Robert Bryant.
“Our new goal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2040 enables us to lead our industry by example and to inspire our customers as we work to ensure the long-term well-being of our planet, our partners and our business.”
The company paired this announcement with the release of an infographic laying out 10 sustainability goals to be achieved by 2030, as detailed in Axalta’s Environmental, Social and Governance assessment.
Chief among these goals is to feature some amount of sustainability features in at least 80 percent of Axalta products by the end of the decade.
