Sustainability as an Operational Strategy

Among the key environmental milestones reported in 2025:

These improvements also helped Orbia meet the requirements tied to its 2021 sustainability-linked bond.

Business Units Driving Sustainable Innovation

Orbia’s five business groups reported progress in circularity, decarbonization, and innovation initiatives aligned with evolving market demands.

In Polymer Solutions, the company introduced new low-carbon materials such as the MEGOLON™ ECO product line and expanded sales of sustainable PVC resins.

The Building & Infrastructure division launched circular infrastructure products, including Tegra 600 LC, a low-carbon inspection chamber designed for stormwater and wastewater systems. The product contains up to 70% recycled material, requires 50% less production energy, and is engineered for a 100-year lifespan.

Through its Precision Agriculture business, Orbia expanded GrowSphere™, a digital operating system designed to optimize irrigation. The platform helps farmers reduce water and nutrient use while improving crop yield resilience.

In Connectivity Solutions, the company deployed nearly 1,000 miles of broadband infrastructure using microtrenching and armored conduit technology, helping accelerate connectivity while minimizing environmental disruption.

Meanwhile, the Fluor & Energy Materials division began constructing a facility to produce Zephex® 152a, a low global warming potential medical propellant, and expanded electrolyte production capacity to support North American battery supply chains.

Investing in Innovation and Communities

Innovation remained a key growth driver for Orbia in 2025. The company invested more than $70 million in research and development, with over 10% of its annual revenue generated from new products and services.

Orbia also expanded employee engagement and community initiatives. Through its Time4Water campaign, more than 2,500 employees in 31 countries volunteered to support watershed restoration, water access, and local climate resilience efforts.

According to Tania Rabasa Kovacs, sustainability has become a strategic advantage during periods of market disruption.

“By embedding decarbonization, water stewardship, and circularity into operational decision-making, we are unlocking efficiency, accelerating innovation, and scaling solutions that help our customers navigate complex regulatory and market transitions. This is how we strengthen resilience and generate durable returns while we advance life around the world,” she said.
