Powering the
Transition to
Sustainability
Sustainability is at the core of who Oxbow is and what we do. We lead in the upcycling of energy coproducts, transforming them into the crucial ingredients used in manufacturing of items we rely on daily, including electric cars and hospital equipment. Since our earliest days, Oxbow innovated to adapt to the world’s needs and transform ourselves to meet these needs.

Our history includes: harnessing geothermal energy, expanding a market for upcycled energy products, and future-proofing by researching the capture of carbon from these products.

Oxbow's emphasis on Teamwork, Technology & Talent has always driven our focus on our workforce and the communities where we live and work. Our bedrock principle has always been accountability, to our customers, our employees, and to other interested stakeholders.

Environmental

We take industrial coproducts that would otherwise go to waste and responsibly upcycle them into products used in recyclable aluminum, efficient batteries, and other products used in everyday life. As a result, we’re helping to power the transition to a more sustainable future. We do this in compliance with global standards and our own “beyond compliance” approach, incorporated in our ISO 14001-certified facilities.

Social

We focus on automation, artificial intelligence and machine learning to both maximize workplace safety and optimize our manufacturing processes. We’ve long cared about our local communities; for example, we voluntarily provided opportunities and support to education before it became an ESG mandate. Although we’re already leaders in workplace diversity, we constantly strive to ensure Oxbow is an open and inclusive environment where everyone wants to work.

Governance

Accountability is at our core and we hold ourselves to the highest standards of compliance. This is demonstrated by our state-of-the-art IT systems to protect people’s privacy and data, our deep-rooted commitment to fair dealing, and our efforts to promote diversity in decision-making. Our policies are long-held and focused on reduced risk for all shareholders, as well as promoting the sustainability of our operations.
