Sustainability
At Eastman, we recognize that the world’s resources are finite and consumer needs are not. It is our goal to make a positive difference in the world by bringing products to market that improve lives, our communities, and our environment. Sustainability isn’t something we take lightly. It’s an essential component of our business.
It means safely manufacturing our products in a way that minimizes our use of energy and natural resources. For example, our architectural film becomes carbon neutral in less than two months after installation — meaning the fuel used in its manufacture neither contributed to nor reduced the amount of carbon in the atmosphere. However — and this is huge—over the service life of the product, we’re actually providing 14 plus years of greenhouse gas reductions.
Eastman is an U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ENERGY STAR® Partner, promoting the benefits of ENERGY STAR and related tools. EPA has recognized Eastman Chemical Company as an ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year seven years in a row for strategically managing and improving energy efficiency.
We are proud of the progress, and we recognize we have more to do. Eastman is the first chemical company to have the distinction of being named ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year Sustained Excellence, ENERGY STAR’s highest award. Eastman is also a Challenge Partner in the U.S. Department of Energy's Better Plants Program. Through these partnerships, Eastman has improved its energy performance, saved money and helped to protect the environment for future generations.
At Eastman, sustainability is a journey of continuous improvement. Today. Tomorrow. And for generations to come.
