UN Global Compact

The United Nations (UN) Global Compact aims to mobilize a global movement of sustainable companies and stakeholders. The UN Global Compact encourages companies

to conduct business responsibly by aligning strategies and operations with the Ten Principles on human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption. LYB joined in 2020. The UN Global Compact also encourages companies to advance broader societal goals such as the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), which serve as a call for action to tackle global challenges by

2030. The alignment of our sustainability approach with the UN SDGs is detailed

in the following list.

We support food banks in the communities where we operate through monetary donations, food collection drives, and employee volunteerism.

SDG Description SDG Description

	We are committed to educating and training our current and future workforce. Our business is driven by the next generation of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) professionals.		We are working to reduce our GHG emissions and deliver solutions that advance our customers' climate ambitions and support the transition to a low-carbon economy.
	We aim to achieve at least 33% male senior leaders and at least 33% female senior leaders in global senior leadership roles by 2032.1		We are committed to helping end plastic waste in the environment and advancing a circular economy.

We work every day to protect the health and safety of our employees, contractors, and the communities where we operate.

We strive to optimize energy consumption in our operations by reducing resource use and GHG emissions. We are working to increase our use

of renewable energy.

We are committed to fairness in our pay practices and focus on four pillars: market competitiveness, pay governance, pay transparency, and equal pay opportunities.

We believe transitioning to a circular economy will enable a more sustainable future. We are investing in mechanical and chemical recycling to make plastics a recoverable resource.

We are collaborating with our value chain partners on projects to reach the scale and impact needed to address global challenges.

We aim to create a company where fairness and a sense of belonging are experienced by all, propelling individual and collective success.

1. As a Dutch company, we are required to set ambitious goals for gender representation (both male and female) in senior management positions.
