Titled “Creating Sustainable Value”, Röhm has published the ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) report for the 2024 financial year 2024. Starting with the 2024 report, the company is aligning its sustainability reporting with the future requirements of the ESRS (European Sustainability Reporting Standard.

Röhm today announced the successful start of production at its new Bay City (Texas, USA) plant, implementing its proprietary C2-based LiMA technology on a large industrial scale.

Once in full production, the Röhm Bay City plant will produce 250,000 metric tons of MMA annually while delivering several very tangible benefits: the new technology is based on the raw materials ethylene, natural gas and methanol and enables higher product yield, lower energy consumption and reduced water and waste impact compared to traditional production routes.

Röhm's Worms site has been successfully certified according to the standards and guidelines of Operation Clean Sweep® (OCS).

Operation Clean Sweep® OCS is a voluntary program aimed at improving awareness, promoting best practices and providing guidance and tools to support companies from the plastic value chain in the implementation of the necessary pellet loss prevention measures.

Röhm Shanghai has achieved ISCC (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification) PLUS certification for its methyl methacrylate (MMA), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), and methacrylate resin products at its Shanghai (China) site.

Röhm started its exciting journey as a new company in 2019. Five years— compared with the hundred-year history of the “old” Röhm —the past few years are only a very short period of time. Yet, at the same time, they are an opportunity to look back and say, “Thank you.”

Röhm offers selected products from all established brands with a reduced carbon footprint. The production sites in Worms and Wesseling (Germany) are already been received certification under the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) PLUS scheme.

Röhm is further expanding its market leadership in Europe with a new plant for PLEXIGLAS® molding compounds: Robert Weber, Head of the Röhm Worms site, Hans-Peter Hauck, COO of Röhm, and Siamak Djafarian, Head of the Molding Compounds Business Unit, officially commissioned the plant during an inauguration ceremony at the Worms site.

With lowering greenhouse gas emissions the order of the day, Röhm has now expanded its proTerra product range to include PLEXIGLAS® proTerra molding compounds. They combine the proven performance of the polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) PLEXIGLAS® brand with a lower carbon footprint.

In June, Röhm successfully commissioned the plant expansion for impact-modified PLEXIGLAS® molding compounds in Worms, Germany, which are used primarily in the automotive, household, and construction sectors.
