Huntsman becomes first chemical company to win Dutch “Lean & Green” award

06-Dec-2010 - Netherlands

Huntsman Polyurethanes has become the first chemical firm to win a "Lean and Green" award from Sustainable Logistics Innovation Connekt – a Dutch network of business and government departments that encourages Netherlands-based companies to operate in a sustainable way when it comes to transport, supply chain and mobility issues.

Launched by the Dutch Ministry of Transport and Public Works, the Lean and Green award scheme recognizes enterprises that strive to achieve CO2 reductions through the careful planning, implementation and management of environmentally conscious distribution and logistics strategies.

Huntsman received the award for its commitment to cutting CO2 emissions at its Rozenburg site in Holland. The company has already optimized critical parts of its European supply chain but aims to make further reductions of between 5-10% by 2012.
