Statista also conducted a survey of more than 11,000 people asking for their perception of the companies’ ESG practices.
“Designing a holistic sustainability strategy has been critical to how we operate,” said Wilbert Platzer, SVP of Global Operations, EHS & Procurement, Quaker Houghton. “We are committed to continuously improve our operations, reduce our product footprint, enhance workplace health and safety, and support our colleagues and the communities where we live and work.”
