METHANEX RELEASES 2022 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT

Methanex Corp. has released its 2022 sustainability report to share its progress on material environmental, social and governance (ESG) topics that are important to the company's business and stakeholders.

"Our sustainability culture continues to evolve beyond targets and initiatives to include the embedding of sustainability principles in our business strategy," said Rich Sumner, president and chief executive officer of Methanex. "The 2022 report highlights our performance and initiatives across a wide range of ESG areas, including our safety performance and the actions we are taking to support the transition to a low-carbon economy."

Highlights from Methanex's 2022 sustainability report include:

• Maintaining excellent safety performance on all major projects; the number of hazard identifications has tripled since 2020 because of its engaged work force and strong safety culture;
• Identifying opportunities to increase plant efficiency while reducing carbon emissions, in support of its commitment to reduce Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emission intensity by 10 per cent by 2030 (from 2019 levels); Methanex will invest $15-million in these projects over the next two years, helping it avoid an estimated 100,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year;
• Reaching 75-per-cent completion on the Geismar 3 plant in 2022; G3 will significantly lower the average greenhouse gas intensity of the asset portfolio, with start-up expected in the fourth quarter of 2023;
• Being recognized for its progress on its ESG initiatives and disclosures leading to improved ratings from EcoVadis and MSCI; its EcoVadis sustainability rating improved from a silver to gold medal; this rating places Methanex in the top 5 per cent of all companies assessed; its MSCII rating improved from BBB to AA;
• Creating a new role on the executive leadership team -- senior vice-president, low carbon solutions -- who will be focused on collaborating with customers and other stakeholders to deliver low-carbon solutions from existing assets and future growth projects.

This year's report also represents another important step forward to enhance Methanex's ESG progress as the company has aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
