Environmental management

To fulfil our environmental commitments, we contribute to RPM's established and robust environmental management system (EMS) that is ingrained in all our activities. This system prioritises environmental, health and safety (EHS) initiatives throughout our operations.

The EMS program is overseen at the corporate level by RPM's Vice President – Environmental, Health & Safety. This role reports directly to the Vice President - Operations, who reports to the Chief Executive Officer and provides updates on operations to the Board of Directors.

All environmental management efforts are guided by MS (Manufacturing System)-168, a centre-led approach to operational oversight that applies lean manufacturing principles to improve our processes. This approach has supported MAP (Margin Achievement Plan) 2025, RPM's company-wide initiative to increase operational efficiencies. Together, these programs drive reductions in waste, emissions and use of water and energy.

Many of RPM's facilities also pursue third-party certifications, such as the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) certification for environmental management.
