The report details the progress we've made in the last three quarters including:
- Achieving a full-year 30% improvement in recordable incident rates in our facilities, as we aspire to reach zero injuries
- Establishing long-term goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions as part of our broader strategy to reduce our environmental impact
- Expanding our portfolio of environmentally preferred products and receiving several new certifications from the U.S. Department of Agriculture
- Participating in national and regional initiatives that leverage the resources and influence of business to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion
- Updating the charters of our three Board of Director committees to further define the Board's role in ESG oversight
- Executing our first global employee engagement survey and creating a plan to put employee insights into action
This ESG report is a companion piece to the March 2021 release of the Neenah Corporate Sustainability Report. When reviewed together, the two publications present a full picture of our ESG commitments and achievements. We plan to release a full 2022 report based on Global Reporting Standards (GRI), later this year.
