Albemarle Corporation

In the past two years, we’ve made significant strides in our long-term strategy to power our operations in more sustainable ways: ⚡ We moved a large part of our Salar de Atacama operations from diesel-powered generators to electricity from Chile’s electric grid to provide a more sustainable and reliable power source. ⚡ We’re transitioning more of our operations to renewable electricity in Kings Mountain, North Carolina, and Silver Peak, Nevada. ⚡ Our sites in Budapest, Hungary, and Santiago, Chile, recently earned LEED Platinum certifications, which are awarded to companies with healthy, highly efficient and cost-saving features in their buildings. #RenewableEnergy #GreenElectricity

As we welcome the new year, many of us set new goals and intentions. Did you know our products play important roles in supporting some of the most common New Year’s resolutions? For example... 🥗 Eating well: Our specialty chemical solutions help promote the health of plants and livestock while minimizing environmental impact. 🏃 Exercising regularly: From the smartwatch on your wrist to the Bluetooth headphones in your ears, lithium-ion batteries help power all kinds of workouts. ✈ Traveling more: Our products are integral to modern aircraft, from brominated flame retardants in circuit boards to lithium-containing alloys used in plane manufacturing. 🌎 Living a more sustainable lifestyle: The eco-conscious switch to electric vehicles or e-bikes is made possible by lithium batteries. #NewYearsResolutions #Lithium #Bromine
