Tronox Reorganizes Board Committee Structure to Enhance ESG Oversight

Tronox Holdings plc, the world’s leading integrated manufacturer of titanium dioxide pigment, announced that its Board of Directors had reorganized its committee structure to enhance the Board’s oversight over environment, sustainability and governance (“ESG”). Under the new structure, the Governance Committee will become the Governance and Sustainability Committee with a restated committee charter that will require management to regularly report on its progress on key ESG initiatives. The enhanced Board oversight comes on top of other significant ESG-related improvements made by Tronox, including the announcement in its most recent Sustainability Report of a detailed plan to align with a global warming scenario below 2° C and achieve net zero GHG emissions by 2050; inclusion of carbon emission reduction targets in its executive compensation programs; and a commitment to be fully compliant with applicable TCFD and SASB disclosure standards when it releases its 2021 sustainability report.

Melissa Zona, Tronox’s Senior Vice President, External Affairs and Chief Sustainability Officer, commented, “The Board’s decision to enhance its oversight of ESG demonstrates clearly that Tronox understands the importance our customers, employees and investors place on sustainability. From the Boardroom to every control room, Tronox is actively progressing ESG, integrating it in all aspects of our business, especially when it comes to setting meaningful targets to reduce our carbon emissions, water and energy usage, and seeking opportunities to reuse our waste within a circular economy.”

Ilan Kaufthal, the Chairman of Tronox’s Board of Directors, who also chairs the new Governance and Sustainability Committee, commented, “The Tronox Board understands the trust our shareholders have placed in us to create long-term shareholder value. We see ESG as essential to that mission. The Governance and Sustainability Committee will enable us to better exercise our Board oversight responsibility related to ESG and hold management accountable to achieve the metrics for carbon and other waste reduction described in our sustainability report.”

Domtar Supports Students and Teachers with School Supply Donations

With the increasing cost of school supplies, the start of a new school year can be a stressful — and expensive — time for families and teachers alike. With rising prices affecting every household, school supply donations can help bridge the gap and ensure that every student and teacher has what they need for academic success. The average U.S. household will spend around $875 on school supplies during the 2024 back-to-school season, and more than 90 percent of teachers spend their own income on supplies for their classrooms. This year, to assist students and educators in their communities, employees at Domtar’s North American locations engaged in local school supply drives and fundraising events. We also continued our partnerships with customers like ODP Corporation and organizations like Classroom Central to give back to our communities.
