Ergon is proud to share the organization’s first Doing Right Report, a celebration of the many ways we are committed to doing right with our products, for our planet, by our people and through our principles.

You can find Ergon’s 2021 Doing Right Report on ergon.com.

“Doing the right thing is nothing new to the Ergon family,” commented Kris Patrick, Chief Operating Officer. “It’s what our culture and values were built upon.” As interest in environmental, social and governance (ESG) grows and our customers, suppliers and financial institutions are asking about steps Ergon is taking, it is important that we share our sustainability story.

The report celebrates the uniqueness of the Ergon organization — the things we’ve been doing right for decades. It highlights innovative ways our companies are already working together to impact sustainability. We are creating cleaner products, supporting and protecting our people and our communities today and for future generations, and ensuring the continued success of this organization upon which so many people around the world depend.

In this report, you’ll learn how we are Doing Right:

• With our PRODUCTS throughout the organization, including warm mix from Ergon Asphalt & Emulsions, Ergon Refining & Marketing’s base oils used to reduce friction and improve efficiency, Crafco’s ground tire rubber use, and many more examples
• For our PLANET with information on energy consumption, greenhouse gas data, and hazardous and non-hazardous waste
• By our PEOPLE through initiatives like Target Zero and training, highlighting our total recordable incident rate, age and gender metrics, and low turnover rate
• Through our PRINCIPLES, including our management structure, training record and continued focus on community service and volunteerism

The report also sets a baseline for key metrics we will be reporting on in the future, and it allows our businesses to actively work toward setting goals to be shared in 2022.
