Addressing Global Challenges
Orbia's business groups have a collective focus on ensuring food security, reducing water scarcity, reinventing the future of cities and homes, connecting communities to data and information services, and expanding access to health and well-being through the provision of advanced materials, specialty products and innovative human-centered solutions.
Orbia’s products and solutions serve key sectors such as construction, infrastructure, agriculture, healthcare, transportation, data communications, energy materials and petrochemicals.
Orbia’s business groups are connected by a shared purpose: to advance life around the world. We're in a unique position to help people live and thrive now and into the future by addressing the world’s most pressing challenges.
We have identified three key challenges our businesses can contribute to:
Our businesses are frequently developing and adapting their strategy to ensure our products and solutions address risks and opportunities as well as recognize interlinkages and dependencies among them.
SDG-aligned Impact
Orbia is a signatory of the UN Global Compact, which encourages businesses worldwide to adopt sustainable and socially responsible practices. We are committed to becoming a global accelerator of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set forth by the United Nations General Assembly.
In order to assess how and to what extent our solutions contribute to the SDGs and their targets, we have carried out an identification and evaluation of the value delivered by Orbia’s products and solutions, using existing methodologies and definitions as a basis.
This process allowed us to link our solution portfolio to the SDGs by identifying the revenues of our products that contribute either directly or indirectly to the goals.
