A Companywide Culture of Operational Excellence
At Momentive, we believe that operational excellence demands that we use all resources efficiently—not only natural resources, but human resources as well. As a result, employees’ time must always be used resourcefully; after all, every hour spent on an unproductive task is a kind of waste. That’s why, throughout the entire Momentive organization, we incorporate Six Sigma methodology, to improve business processes and to reduce errors, so that we can optimize our efficiency and thus our long-term sustainability.

The Excellence of Environmental Sustainability
To embrace operational excellence is to embrace environmental sustainability. That’s why each of our facilities tracks the resources it uses and the waste it generates, including greenhouse gases (GHG). Along the way, we look for ways to enhance efficiencies and improve sustainability, and share such advancements and Success Metrics with our global network. Additionally, as a rule, we look for opportunities to recycle our water, lessening the overall volume of clean water needed and wastewater produced.
