Sustainability Report

Sustainability is central to Axalta’s business. When we refer to sustainability, we mean a wide range of environmental, social and economic consequences that can arise from our operations. Being a good neighbor and an engaged business partner are fundamental to our growth and success.

We manage our facilities in ways that are intended to minimize the impact of our operations across our 35 manufacturing centers with sophisticated environment, health and safety protocols.  Our coatings are designed to serve the sustainability goals of our customers, helping their products last longer, enabling their operations to run more efficiently and providing ways to save energy, reduce waste and be more productive. And we provide these intrinsic benefits with coatings that preserve and protect. Axalta’s low-VOC, waterborne and powder products produce fewer targeted hazardous emissions.

As part of our commitment to sustainability, we are proud to publish Axalta’s 2013 Sustainability Report. This report, our first, catalogues our accomplishments over the past year. The report was prepared in keeping with the Global Reporting Initiative’s (GRI) recently released G4 guidelines and in accordance with the GRI “Core” reporting level. Axalta’s GRI Index, published separately, identifies the extent to which we fulfill each GRI indicator. The report provides an overview of Axalta’s achievements as well as areas that will benefit from improved operating performance, monitoring and data collection. Material issues identified in the process of preparing the report also are identified.
