Goals

Eastman has made sustainability integral to our strategy, driven by innovation and always focused on people. Eastman has the responsibility and opportunity to lead, joining others to address climate change, mainstream circularity as an economic model, and build a more inclusive and equitable world. As sustainable innovation drives our approach to each of these topics, we have set collective goals to further embed sustainability standards into the operating model of our company. Working together, we can create "A Better Circle."
