HOUSTON - Westlake Corporation (NYSE: WLK) has achieved a milestone in its sustainability efforts with its Westlake Epoxy Duisburg site in Germany obtaining the International Sustainability & Carbon Plus (ISCC PLUS) certification. With this certification, the Duisburg facility is recognized for its sustainable handling and tracking of materials during the production of epoxy specialty products.
This development is part of Westlake's broader strategy to incorporate renewable carbon materials into its supply chain, aimed at reducing both energy use and greenhouse gas emissions.
According to Ann Frederix, Vice President - Epoxy at Westlake, the ISCC PLUS certification enables the company to offer its customers a broader selection of products with renewable attributes and a smaller carbon footprint.
