KUALA LUMPUR, April 25 (Bernama) -- Diversified global manufacturer Milliken & Company has published its fourth annual Sustainability Report, a key reporting component in the company’s progress toward its 2025 Sustainability Goals.
In 2019, Milliken laid out 12 sustainability goals, focused on its people, its products and the planet, as a roadmap to achieving a healthier tomorrow. Guided by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, these 12 goals signal the company’s commitment to sustainability in all forms.
In 2021, Milliken eliminated coal as a primary fuel after investing US$25 million into cogeneration, which combines steam and power generation. Notably, Milliken also increased the diversity of its U.S. management team by eight per cent, announcing its entire flooring portfolio was now carbon neutral. (US$1 = RM4.332)
“Our shared purpose and our material science expertise make us uniquely Milliken,” shares Milliken & Company president and CEO, Halsey Cook in a statement.
“We embrace not only our ability to make a positive impact on the world around us but also our responsibility to build a healthier future for this generation and generations to come.”
Completed in line with Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards: Core, Milliken’s fourth report details the holistic sustainability progress made in 2021.
These efforts include: Recording zero lost time safety incidents from COVID-19; Logging 27,000 volunteer hours—the greatest number in company history; and, Partnering with groups including Accelerating Circularity, Polypropylene Coalition, PureCycle Technologies and the Alliance to End Plastic Waste to lend expertise in solving product end-of-life challenges.
“The cover of this year’s report is an image from the documentary, Everest, which details the dramatic true story of a team of four climbers who ascended the mountain,” says Kasel Knight, senior vice president and general counsel.
Milliken & Company is a global manufacturing leader whose focus on materials science delivers tomorrow’s breakthroughs today.
