At Ashland, solving problems is both our purpose and our passion. In today’s rapidly changing world, we know we must do more than solve problems. We must be completely transparent about our processes and actions along the way. Whether fair trade, equitable employment practices, environmental performance, or community engagement, we won't succeed without rigorously documenting and sharing how we;re solving and how we;re adding value to the world at large.
For Ashland, our core values are the foundation from which we have built our company. Going further, that means once our science-based targets are final, they will be clear, concise, and trackable. It means our supplier agreements will continue to consider the materials, ecosystems, people, and communities with whom we work. And it means living up to and often exceeding the standards we set for ourselves as an employer, supplier, purchaser, and community member. It is a philosophy not just to become a more nature-positive company but to share every aspect of that journey with every stakeholder we encounter in every corner of the world. It is a complex challenge worth solving – one we take seriously at every level and every location where Ashland operates.
