Letter from our President & CEO
I am pleased to share Methanex's 2025 Sustainability Report, celebrating the progress we have made across our company. This was an important year for Methanex in which we successfully integrated new team members and new operations, achieved outstanding safety results, met our GHG target, and continued to invest in the future of our company.
Closing on the acquisition of new methanol operationsThe OCI transaction offered a strategic opportunity for Methanex to acquire world-scale assets with access to abundant North American gas supply. We focused on safely integrating our new manufacturing sites and supply chain into our operations and welcoming approximately 250 new team members, many of whom I had the privilege of spending time with. As a result of everyone's hard work and collaboration, our new assets have run safely and reliably since acquisition. I am inspired by everyone's enthusiasm about our shared vision and culture of protecting people, assets, and the environment. These are our foundations for success.
Best two-year safety performanceI am extremely proud of our safety performance. Methanex had its best two-year safety performance, with 0.12 recordable injuries per 200,000 worked hours and
zero Tier 1 process safety incidents. These outstanding achievements are the result of our employees' and contractors' continued focus on strong planning, hazard awareness, and reliable behaviours. As an everyday reminder of the importance of safety, we also launched a global Life Saving Rules campaign, focusing on the most critical safety behaviours that help each team member return home safely at the end of the day.
Despite these successes, we remain steadfast in our commitment to avoid complacency and continue our relentless pursuit of zero harm.
Achieving our GHG targetOver the past several years, we have devoted considerable efforts to reducing our GHG emissions. I'm proud to share that we achieved our target to reduce our Scope 1 and 2 emissions intensity from our manufacturing facilities by 10 per cent-five years ahead of our goal. The key driver of this accomplishment was achieving full production from our G3 plant: With less than 0.3 tonnes of CO₂e
per tonne of methanol produced, G3 has one of the lowest emissions intensities of conventional methanol plants in the industry. Additional factors that helped us meet our target included our manufacturing asset mix, a focus on improving plant reliability, and emissions reduction projects. With this target now reached, we continue efforts to further reduce emissions and are working to develop a new GHG emission reduction target in 2026.
As a result of everyone's hard work and collaboration, our new assets have run safely and reliably since acquisition.

Methanol's role in the low-carbon economy
We continue to invest in low-carbon solutions. As a result of the OCI transaction, Methanex is now one of the world's largest producers of low-carbon methanol. We continue to progress our Medicine Hat carbon capture project, in partnership with Entropy, targeting a FEED decision in 2026, and we also signed a long-term offtake agreement and a term sheet for an additional offtake
for biomethanol in 2025, contingent on the project investment decision. Regulations continue to drive interest and demand for low-carbon methanol, and we are well
None of our achievements would be possible without our dedicated team members.
positioned to meet customer demand.
In late 2025, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) deferred the vote on adoption of its Net-Zero Framework by one year. If passed, this framework will provide the regulatory certainty needed to encourage investment into low-carbon fuels and we will be monitoring developments closely in 2026. Decarbonization of the maritime industry has already begun: In 2025, there were more than 450 dual-fuel methanol vessels operating or on order across the industry. This year, Waterfront Shipping purchased and used waste-based biomethanol with a negative lifecycle GHG intensity to meet FuelEU maritime obligations. We're proving that low-carbon methanol remains an attractive and viable option to significantly reduce GHG emissions across the maritime sector.
Supporting our peopleNone of our achievements would be possible without our dedicated team members. To better understand our employees' needs and experiences and to identify areas of improvement, we conducted a culture survey in 2025. Ninety-four per cent of our team responded to the survey and our scores across all areas surveyed improved compared to our 2023 survey. I am proud of the culture we have developed at Methanex-a culture that fosters this level of participation across our company and where everyone feels their voice matters.
We can only deliver on our goals with
the full participation of our global, diverse team, so it's important that we maintain a workplace where everyone has a chance to thrive and feels included, supported, and engaged. Throughout the year, our employee resource groups held several events focused on inclusion and learning. We also continued to train leaders on equitable recruitment practices and further embed these practices throughout our organization.
Looking forwardOur priorities for the upcoming year will be to maintain safe and reliable operations and focus on Responsible Care© as we further integrate our new team members and assets. I'm excited for the opportunities that lie ahead.
In closing, I'd like to thank our people for their commitment to excellence. Together, we're stronger and the future is bright.
