ESG Report To further our commitment to transparency, we published Westlake's fourth annual Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) report, which brings together existing and new disclosures. Working with our partner, we completed our first, robust materiality assessment for Westlake earlier this year. The assessment addressed our internal and external stakeholders views and the actual and potential impacts of a broad list of ESG topics included in our ESG report. Westlake 2020 ESG Report.
