Cabot Wins Two Green Safety Awards
Cabot Corporation has been honored with two awards for its efforts to protect people and the planet.
Waste & Water Stewardship Award
The first prize, called the Waste & Water Stewardship Award, goes to companies that excel at cutting waste and caring for water. Cabot’s team turned the gypsum by‑product from its air‑cleaning system into a useful material for cement. As a result, about 15,000 metric tons of gypsum were kept out of landfills in 2025. This demonstrates how the company can meet air‑quality rules while turning waste into a valuable resource.
Facility Safety Award
The second honor, the Facility Safety Award, recognizes companies that keep their workers safe. Almost every U.S. plant of Cabot earned this award for 2025, reflecting strong safety practices and a culture that values healthy workplaces. Cabot’s leadership says that its people are the most important asset, and it has long focused on safe conditions and employee well‑being.
Responsible Care Initiative of the Year Finalist
Cabot’s achievements also earned it a spot as one of two finalists for the Responsible Care Initiative of the Year Award. That award celebrates new ideas that push safety performance higher. The company has been part of the Responsible Care program since 2010, a voluntary pledge by chemical firms to improve health, safety and environmental outcomes. By following this charter, Cabot works to make its products and operations safer for everyone worldwide.
Award Selection Process
The awards are chosen by a committee of experts who evaluate how well companies run their Responsible Care programs. Winners stand out in areas like waste reduction, energy use and product safety. Cabot’s recent wins show that the company is a leader in both protecting people at work and reducing its environmental footprint.
Bottom Line
Cabot’s efforts illustrate that big companies can make a real difference. By turning waste into useful materials and keeping workers safe, the firm demonstrates that profit and responsibility can go hand in hand. Its ongoing projects aim to bring lasting, positive change to the communities where it operates.
