Methanex
is committed to high environmental and safety standards that
minimize risk to people, the environment and the communities
in every country in which we operate.
The ethic that guides
us in this effort is Responsible
Care®, a risk minimization approach to
operating a company that governs our actions through the complete
life cycle of our products. Developed by the Chemistry Industry
Association of Canada (CIAC), Responsible Care forms the umbrella
under which we manage all our health & safety, environmental,
emergency response, security and community programs.
Part of Methanex's obligations under Responsible Care® is to report to the public annually about our activities related to environmental protection, health & safety and social responsibility. To read our 2008 annual Responsible Care and Social Responsibility Report, click here.
Climate Change
Methanex believes that minimizing emissions
from our company activities is good business practice.
As a result, Methanex has voluntarily reduced direct, production-based
carbon dioxide emission intensity at our plants by over
40 percent since 1996 through asset turnover, improvement
in plant reliability and emissions management. In addition,
Methanex voluntarily participates in greenhouse gas
emission reduction plans in countries in which we do
not have emission reduction obligations - because it makes
good business and environmental sense.
