Our memberships and associated organizations

Across Venator, we actively participate in numerous global and national associations that help us to ensure our products remain safe, compliant, and sustainable. These include:

Our sustainability ambitions

Our strategic vision

In 2022, we launched a comprehensive sustainability strategy designed to enhance our commitment to responsible business practices and align with the evolving expectations of our stakeholders. Through the creation and delivery of this strategy, we aim to drive long-term value creation for our customers, associates, investors, and communities while contributing to a more sustainable future. This strategy is structured around four core pillars.

	Valuing our team Our associates make us who we are and bring our vision to life. We aspire to create a high performance, inclusive, and safety focused culture where our people can reach their full potential. Find out more…
Reducing the impact on our world We recognize our responsibility to the planet and future generations and stand firm in our commitment to mitigating the effects of climate change by reducing our impact and being environmental stewards Find out more…
	Driving value for our customers We are a large chemical manufacturer, and guaranteeing the safety of our products is paramount. It directly impacts the health and well-being of consumers, workers, and the environment. To ensure this safety, we must also ensure that our products are of the highest quality. Find out more…
Performance targets Performance underpins our sustainability strategy and cuts across our People, Products, and Planet pillars. To demonstrate our progress on our targets within these pillars, we must provide consistent and accurate performance data. Find out more…

Sustainability Governance

To advance our sustainability strategy and maximize our positive impact on society, we must embed sustainability throughout our business. E. Bryan Snell, our President and CEO, champions this integration, ensuring that sustainability remains a priority at the highest level of leadership. This commitment is reflected in our governance structure, which provides clear oversight, accountability, and direction for our sustainability initiatives. Our governance framework is led at a Board level by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, chaired by Fried-Walter Münstermann. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for overseeing and monitoring progress toward our sustainability strategy and 2030 targets. The Committee plays a central role in ensuring that sustainability remains embedded within our corporate strategy and decision-making. 

The Sustainability Council acts as the key reporting body for sustainability performance, providing quarterly updates to the Board. Chaired by Dr. Rob Portsmouth, Executive Vice President for Sustainability, Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS), and Human Resources (HR), the Council is composed of workstream leaders from across our global operations, representing each business unit and function. Their role is to drive progress, coordinate sustainability initiatives, and ensure alignment with strategic targets and risk management frameworks. 

Ultimately, it is the responsibility of the representatives of the Council to ensure that all Venator associates are equipped with the necessary knowledge, training, and guidance to deliver Venator’s sustainability strategy.
