To begin with, in 2024, the US-based company took significant steps to align its operations with sustainability objectives, highlighting Century's dedication to responsible production, innovation, and environmental stewardship. Let's take a closer look at how sustainability is being embedded into the company's operations.
Certifications & sustainable frameworks
A key part of Century's sustainability journey is the push for consistent processes across its global operations. In 2024, the company made significant strides, particularly in securing important certifications. For instance, its Sebree facility in the US earned ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certifications, joining other plants already recognised with ISO 9001 certifications. These achievements highlight Century's ongoing commitment to quality, environmental management, and ensuring a safe workplace. In addition to these milestones, Century is also focusing on improving transparency in its sustainability efforts.
The company is exploring how to integrate global sustainability frameworks into its reporting practices. This includes considering the adoption of the Global Reporting Initiative GRI, Sustainability Accounting Standards Board SASB, and International Sustainability Standards Board ISSB standards. By doing so, Century aims to make sustainability progress clearer and more accessible for stakeholders, ensuring they can easily track the company's environmental performance.
