Equity Petrochemicals announced that its subsidiary, American MEG Global, has obtained a carbon footprint certificate from the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) system, becoming the first ethylene glycol producer in the United States to receive this certification.
In a statement to the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) on Sunday, Equity Petrochemicals said the certification covers producers of monoethylene glycol and diethylene glycol manufactured by American MEG Global at its industrial facilities in Oyster Creek, Texas.
The company emphasized that obtaining this certification represents a significant step toward achieving Equity’s goals in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices, translating its sustainability priorities into concrete actions, and providing customers with reliable data on the product-level carbon footprint.
Al-Dosari affirmed that obtaining the ISCC carbon footprint certification reflects this direction by providing independent and reliable carbon footprint data, enabling customers to confidently use it in their reports and decisions.
He noted that obtaining the ISCC certification marks an important milestone in the journey of American MEG Global, particularly as it is the first ethylene glycol producer in the United States to receive this certification.
He added that as disclosure requirements for carbon emissions evolve in major global markets, the availability of reliable data on the emissions of each product has become increasingly important in purchasing decisions and supply chains.
He further stated that independent third-party verification has become crucial to enhancing trust in environmental information by ensuring it undergoes rigorous and transparent review.
For her part, Julia Cockerham, Director of the Carbon Footprint Verification Program at SCS Global Services, said that both American MEG Global and Equity demonstrate their commitment by investing in independently verified, reliable carbon footprint data, which supports informed decision-making across the value chain and strengthens efforts toward a more sustainable future.
It is worth noting that American MEG Global operates one of the most geographically widespread ethylene glycol production activities in the world, serving customers globally.
