Energy intensity
Tracked per operating unit with production-normalized review.
2030 commitments
Measured progress for responsible basic chemistry
Olin frames sustainability around operating data, documented boundaries, and continuous improvement. The 2030 program covers energy intensity, water reuse, waste recovery, supplier documentation, and product stewardship. Each metric is presented with a baseline and method context because broad environmental language is not useful to EHS teams, investors, or customers preparing audits.
Target table with baseline, status, goal, and methodology
| Metric | 2019 Baseline | 2024 Status | 2030 Goal | Methodology |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scope 1+2 intensity | 100 index | 82 index | 70 index | Energy and direct emissions accounting by operating site. |
| Scope 3 review | Spend-based screening | Supplier risk tiers | Category-specific factors | Annual supplier data request with documented assumptions. |
| Water reuse | 12% | 21% | 35% | Priority site water balance with inlet and outlet boundaries. |
| Waste recovery | 48% | 61% | 75% | Beneficial use and approved recovery route records. |
| SDS governance | Manual release | Controlled library | Digital document basket | Revision control tied to language and jurisdiction. |
| Carrier safety | Annual carrier review | Quarterly risk review | Digital shipment scorecard | Incident, training, and equipment audit records. |
Quarterly progress
Four operating indicators reviewed together
Water reuse
Measured within defined site water balance boundaries.
Waste recovery
Includes approved beneficial use routes and documented handling.
Document coverage
Counts products with controlled SDS, TDS, and regulatory statements.
Third-party verification and review paths
Olin treats verification as a process, not a badge wall. Customers may request report references, data boundaries, and the review path used for a claim. Where third-party review applies, the response identifies the topic, review body, period, and document source. Where a topic remains internally calculated, the response states that boundary clearly.
Methodology appendix
Carbon accounting
Defines scope boundary, emission factor source, production normalization, and reporting period.
