At Eastman, purpose means everything. We are a specialty materials company, but merely making materials is not why our company exists. How we make materials and how our products enhance the quality of life for all – this is what unites the global Eastman team. At Eastman our innovation and sustainability strategies are integrated, and sustainability has become a business imperative. We are focused on solving the world’s most significant problems by leveraging our scale, integration and world class technology platforms. As our strategic focus has also sharpened, we have now converged on three critical impact areas where we have a responsibility to lead and provide solutions – the global plastic waste crisis, climate change, and caring for society. This collective sense of purpose at Eastman is why ESG is a natural framework for our strategy, as it creates long-term value for all our shareholders and has a positive impact on the global society. The more we grow, the broader our impact becomes.

Today, trust and transparency are more important than ever. This governs how we report on our culture through measuring advancements in our I&D efforts, our operational excellence and how we manage a sustainable product portfolio.

Across our company, we integrate ESG into everything we do to ensure long-term business success.
