Supply chain 

Our global supply chain serves all Lubrizol business units. We work with our suppliers to create a supply chain that is built on shared responsibility and trust. We partner with our suppliers, especially our more than 100 Tier I suppliers, on a variety of activities including  transportation and logistics, sustainable sourcing, business continuity and risk management. Supplier selection and engagement are highly dependent on legal and ethical conduct, reliability, and continuous improvement.

During 2021 and 2022, several changes were made to our Senior Leadership team, including the departure of our former CEO and the appointment of Mary Rhinehart as interim President and CEO, effective March 11, 2022. In September 2022, we announced the appointment of Rebecca Liebert as Lubrizol's incoming President and CEO, effective October 3, 2022. Ms. Rhinehart remains Lubrizol's Advisory Board Chair. 

Lubrizol currently consists of two segments: Lubrizol Additives (LZA) and Lubrizol Advanced Materials (LZAM). During 2021, we dissolved our Corporate Ventures segment, and reassigned its innovation initiatives to the relevant business units. 

Like many global companies that support a variety of industries, Lubrizol continues to be impacted by global supply chain constraints, which are due in part to the ongoing and lingering effects of COVID-19.

Our sustainability materiality assessment, which included more than 30 internal and external stakeholder interviews, was conducted by a third party in 2018. Our assessment and review process included the following steps:

1. Identification of stakeholders – to assure we engaged with key stakeholders, identified as our functional leaders, employees, customers, peers, suppliers and industry associations;
2. Prioritization of topics – based on stakeholder input and analysis of the information collected; and
3. Validation – of the results with key leaders in the organization.

In 2019, 2020 and 2021, we continued to engage with stakeholders on sustainability-related topics, and further evaluate the significance and impact of our material topics.

Our approach to sustainability includes driving engagement with our stakeholders. This includes helping our customers meet their sustainability goals by continuing to provide innovative solutions that enhance performance and minimize environmental impact.

Our facilities hold regular trainings, drills and plant tours with local fire departments and emergency responders. Additionally, a number of our facilities have established Community Advisory Panels (CAPs) to ensure a pipeline of feedback and opportunities for mutually beneficial engagement.

In 2021, our business and our people continued to face challenges related to COVID-19. We have remained focused on keeping our people and our communities safe. In 2022, we began bringing more employees safely back into the workplace while continuing to manage hybrid work arrangements. In addition, like many global companies that support a variety of industries, Lubrizol continues to be impacted by global supply chain constraints, which are due in part to the ongoing and lingering effects of COVID-19. 

During 2021 and continuing into 2022, we have made concerted efforts to drive continuous improvement in operational efficiency, cybersecurity and health and safety. Unfortunately, our facility in Rockton, Illinois, experienced a fire in June 2021. There were no injuries as a result, and the facility has been closed since the incident.
