• The development of an internal Indigenous Reconciliation Action Plan to align internal policies and standards more closely with the Canadian Truth and Reconciliation Commission's recommendations to promote meaningful reconciliation with Indigenous People in Canada and the Responsible Care® Indigenous Communities code. The Action Plan includes Indigenous awareness training for leaders in Medicine Hat, the inclusion of Indigenous people in the Methanex Medicine Hat Community Advisory Panel, and a commitment to support or partner with at least one Indigenous community event or initiative annually.
• Injecting recovered CO₂ from an industrial neighbour into the methanol production process.
• Trialling a new catalyst at the Medicine Hat facility that has a lower deactivation rate, improving overall efficiency, lowering emissions, and potentially extending the time between plant turnarounds.
• The Medicine Hat plant also upgraded to low-NOx burners, reducing the NOx emissions by 60 percent when compared to the previous year.

Some company-wide highlights for Methanex globally include:

• Committed to reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emission intensity from manufacturing by 10% by 2030 from 2019 levels.
• Demonstrated the best safety performance to date with a 60% reduction in recordable injuries from 2020.
• Committed resources to pursue emissions reduction initiatives, including a feasibility study for CCUS in North America, and technology research studies of a new conventional methanol plant design that could significantly reduce CO₂ emissions.
• Pursuing green methanol offtakes and the ability to produce green methanol at our Geismar, Louisiana site using renewable natural gas to supply the market as it develops.
• Restarted construction on the 1.8 million tonne Geismar, Louisiana G3 project, an industry-leading plant that will have one of the lowest CO₂ emissions intensity profiles in the industry.
• Waterfront Shipping subsidiary completed the first-ever barge-to-ship methanol bunkering operation at the Port of Rotterdam, demonstrating Methanex's continued leadership in advancing methanol as a cleaner-burning marine fuel.
• Established a Global Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) Council and a new senior role of Director, D&I to lead the development of Methanex's D&I Strategy and the implementation of a 3-year D&I roadmap.
