LISLE, Ill., April 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- SunCoke
Energy, Inc. (NYSE: SXC), the largest independent producer of
high-quality coke in the Americas, published its second annual
Sustainability Report.
SunCoke's 2020 Sustainability Report highlights the Company's
industry-leading practices prioritizing worker safety and
environmental impact.
SunCoke's dedication to employee health and safety was
underscored in 2020 when the Company created an internal COVID-19
task force to implement guidance from federal, state, and local
agencies, ensuring employee well-being while operating as an
essential business supplying a critical raw material for the
production of blast furnace steel as well as logistics
services.
Leading the industry with environmentally efficient and advanced
technology, SunCoke sets the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's
(EPA) Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) standards with
its heat-recovery coke-making technology that converts heat
generated during the coking process into steam and/or electricity,
which is then sold to customers or the grid.
"The dedication of our team is clearly visible through our
safety record, operational excellence and 2020 financial results in
the face of unprecedented challenges. Our commitment to
environmental excellence has always positioned us for long-term
success as demonstrated by strong environmental performance despite
the COVID-19 operational challenges. Consistent with our focus on
environmental performance, SunCoke is dedicated to managing climate
change related risks and opportunities, including evaluating our
long-term business model and its alignment with the transition to a
lower carbon economy" said Michael
Rippey, Chief Executive Officer. "As we move forward, we
plan to build on this foundation by further examining our risks and
impacts from a climate change perspective."
