Participación de interesados
Acercarse y escuchar a nuestras partes interesadas y liderar junto con ellas
Nuestros objetivos globales medioambientales, sociales y de gobernanza (ESG) serán y seguirán estando informados acerca de la participación continua de las partes interesadas y ayudarán a definir los asuntos más importantes de nuestro negocio. Hemos monitoreado continuamente estos asuntos a medida que evolucionan en nuestro recorrido hacia un futuro más sostenible y nos permiten proporcionar valor a todas nuestras partes interesadas. Este esfuerzo culminó en el análisis de doble materialidad, un proceso mediante el cual definimos y damos prioridad a los temas materiales según su impacto, riesgo y oportunidad primordial para nuestro negocio.
Dr. Liam McCarroll
Director de sostenibilidad global
“La responsabilidad es la clave de nuestro éxito. Aunque nuestro liderazgo ejecutivo juega un papel importante en apoyar las estrategias claves y liderar con el ejemplo, no podemos integrar las prácticas sotenibles, los sistemas y la cultura sin el compromiso de todos los empleados. A través de grupos locales de trabajo, redes de empleados y colaboración con nuestra comunidad, clientes y proveedores, empoderamos a todos en el negocio para que contribuyan a nuestro recorrido de sostenibilidad".
Los grupos interesados que se identifican a continuación son los que hemos valorado como relevantes a nuestras prácticas de ESG y los que pueden resultar impactados por nuestros compromisos y avance en los temas de sostenibilidad.
Nuestros esfuerzos de participación de interesados y el análisis de doble materialidad fueron tomados en cuenta para definir nuestra dirección, dentro de los límites de nuestros objetivos actuales, a la vez que nos permiten permanecer conscientes de las áreas cambiantes de importancia para nuestro negocio y nuestras partes interesadas. A medida que avanzamos en nuestro recorrido, ampliaremos los esfuerzos de participación de interesados e incorporaremos otras opiniones de las partes interesadas en el análisis de materialidad futura. Así, nos aseguramos que nuestro futuro se construye con las necesidades de nuestra cadena de valor presentes.
A few of the ways we have engaged with key stakeholders on ESG issues:
Customers
Understanding the material issues to our customers is key to building an ESG program that helps meet their sustainability needs. We are listening to and anticipating our customers’ needs by sharing Scope 3 emissions to aid supply chain transparency and introducing more sustainable products and services.
Examples of engagement:
- Customer-focused technical expertise
- Passive research, including surveys and desktop research
- Ongoing customer ESG collaborative efforts
- Active key account surveys on sustainability priorities
- ESG solutions offerings through our portfolios and services
Suppliers
As an extension of our suppliers’ sales force, it is vital that we understand the sustainability characteristics of the materials we distribute as we develop a leading industry position in sustainable solutions. We work closely with suppliers and service providers to understand their own sustainability journey and, when appropriate, bring them onto our journey.
Examples of engagement:
- Passive research on supplier sustainability priorities
- Supplier transparency and sustainability collaboration, such as responses to sustainability questionnaires and assessment platforms
- Active buyer surveys on ESG priorities
Employees
Our people are at the heart of our sustainability success. Our priorities are largely reflective of the issues our employees care about most and demonstrate that we are an organization where people matter. Additionally, our employees drive the key projects and programs that deliver ESG value for our business and stakeholders.
Examples of engagement:
- Company-wide safety, environmental and ethics and compliance training
- Regular safety and environmental awareness events
- Community engagement and charitable giving
- Global employee feedback surveys
- Regular ESG communications
Investors and Shareholders
By proactively working with our investors, we are ensuring that current priorities are identified, supporting our efforts to successfully navigate ESG-driven change. Our proactive investor engagement helps to address priorities on the horizon, such as the management of climate-related risks and DEI-related disclosures.
Examples of engagement:
- Proactive engagement with our top shareholders
- Support of shareholder sustainability priorities
- Assessment of key investor ESG platforms for priorities
- Reports and disclosures in line with key investor feedback
Univar Solutions Executive Leadership and Board
The strong two-way engagement between the Executive Committee and the Board on our ESG priorities and progress is central to generating and maintaining the momentum needed to drive the significant change needed to achieve our ambitious ESG goals.
Examples of engagement:
- Regular progress reviews against our ESG goals
- Long-term executive compensation that is tied to the achievement of certain ESG goals
- Embedding sustainable thinking into organizational vernacular
Industrial Associations
Teams across our business are actively participating in councils, steering groups and other decision-making bodies within industry associations, helping to keep us up to date with the latest industry developments. This participation helps us to advance ESG changes in our industry.
Examples of engagement:
- Board membership at industrial associations
- Committee participation and information sharing, as appropriate and in accordance with applicable laws.
- Education support and engagement
