Tronox Holdings plc announced the publication of its 2025 sustainability report on June 11, 2026, detailing the achievement of its sustainability-related targets for the year. The report underscores the company's commitment to preserving its privilege to operate through strategic investments in its people, operations, and product portfolio. Tronox exceeded its 2025 environmental targets versus a 2019 baseline, driven largely by automated process controls and increased renewable energy generation.
Environmental Performance
The company reported significant progress in reducing its environmental footprint, surpassing initial goals set for 2025. Key achievements include reductions in greenhouse gas emissions across all scopes and a substantial decrease in waste sent to external landfills.
| Metric | Achievement | Target |
|---|---|---|
| Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions intensity reduction | 27% | 25% |
| Scope 3 emissions intensity reduction | 17% | 9% |
| Waste to external landfills reduction | 38% | 15% |
The reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions was supported by automated process controls at all chlorine pigment plants and increased renewable energy generation in South Africa and Australia. The 17% reduction in Scope 3 emissions intensity was aided by decarbonization planning with Tronox's largest suppliers. Waste reduction efforts focused on recycling waste back into the company's processes and capturing byproduct value.
Safety and Operational Stewardship
Tronox delivered record improvements in injury frequency rates during 2025. Six operating sites achieved zero injuries for the year, and approximately 4,700 potential hazards were removed through the company's leading indicators program. The company also advanced water stewardship by establishing initial contextual water targets at its Bahia, Yanbu, and Chandala sites to strengthen measurement and long-term planning.
Strategic and Community Engagement
The report highlights continued engagement with suppliers, customers, and partners to support emissions reduction and responsible sourcing. Tronox invested in host communities and social performance programs while executing against regional commitments. The company further progressed strategic opportunities, including its rare earths initiative, to support materials critical to the energy transition.
"This report reflects the dedication of our teams around the world and the steady progress we are making in the areas that matter most to our business and our stakeholders," said Jennifer Guenther, Chief Sustainability Officer, Head of Investor Relations and External Affairs.
