Albany International Issues 2022 Sustainability Report

Albany International Corp. (NYSE:AIN) today published its 2022 Sustainability Report, which expands on the Company’s previous reporting and disclosures. This enhanced reporting reflects Albany International’s ongoing commitment to its three core sustainability pillars of: accountability for its role as an environmental steward, respect for its people and communities, and integrity in how the business is governed.

The 2022 Sustainability Report again includes disclosures according to Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) standards as well as Scope 1 and 2 emissions. The report also includes expanded demographic data disclosure for Albany International’s Board and staff and addresses additional sustainability elements most relevant to the Company’s stakeholders.

Bill Higgins, Albany International’s President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “As our company evolves we look forward to continued progress on environmental, social, and governance elements of sustainability, and we are committed to continuous improvement in quantifying our environmental footprint, setting meaningful long-term goals, and implementing programs to further reduce our environmental impact. Additionally this year’s report includes expanded discussion detailing our commitment to a people-first, inclusive, and high-engagement culture defined by mutual respect. Our 2022 Sustainability Report provides transparency on all these ongoing efforts and a baseline for future progress.”

Sustainability at Albany is overseen by the Board of Directors and led by the Sustainability Council with cross-functional representation across the company. Through the Company’s two businesses it also supports customers in their drive to create more sustainable processes and end products by reducing energy consumption, enhancing resource efficiency, and improving fuel efficiency. Through its Research & Technology and industry partnerships, Albany International continues to develop and bring to market innovative products and proprietary process technologies that align with customers’ evolving needs as demand for products with ever lower environmental footprints continues to increase.
