We continue to focus on basic products: ethylene, polyethylene, expandable polystyrene and performance styrenic polymers. We constantly drive to improve the way we work and to upgrade the value of our products.

All of our investments and process improvement efforts center on delivering every grade of every product we produce at the lowest cost in the industry. This enables us to create value for our investors, customers, employees and communities.

We remain focused on the advantage created by our low-cost feedstock position, large-scale facilities and proprietary technology. Our investments will leverage these strengths.

We are committed to invest only to generate high rates of return and improve the overall quality of our business. Capital that can't be used to make high returns will be returned to shareholders.

We generate value by playing a role in industry consolidation.
