In a significant milestone for Syensqo, the company's Oldbury site has been recognised for its exceptional biodiversity work. The site, with a rich history spanning 170 years, has surpassed sustainability goals and is now attracting a variety of wildlife, including wagtails, goldfinches, bees, and butterflies.

The Oldbury site's biodiversity work aims to create natural habitats and integrate biodiversity into operations. As part of this initiative, Syensqo plans to create a nature corridor, contributing to the UK's efforts towards preserving and enhancing wildlife habitats.
In a notable achievement, the Oldbury site was shortlisted in the Biodiversity Protection category at the UK National Sustainability Awards. The awards ceremony, held on 2nd October at the London Marriott Hotel, Grosvenor Square, recognised the Oldbury site for its first external award, marking a significant step forward in Syensqo's broader vision to lead in sustainability with its 'One Planet' programme.
Ian Fryer, Oldbury Site Manager, expressed pride over the team's achievement, stating, "Our commitment to sustainability and biodiversity is at the heart of everything we do. This recognition is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team."
Syensqo has also set ambitious goals for the Oldbury site, aiming to meet the COP15 '30 by 30' target, which seeks to transform 30% of land into green spaces by 2030. The company is working towards this goal by continuing to develop and implement sustainable practices at the Oldbury site.
In related news, the UK Infrastructure Bank has been rebranded as the National Wealth Fund, reflecting a broader focus on sustainable investments and economic growth. This rebranding aligns with Syensqo's mission to advance sustainability and underscores the growing importance of sustainable practices in the UK and beyond.
