For more than 150 years, we've produced refined borates that are essential to fundamental products and applications.
Today, we are driven by finding better, more sustainable ways to provide the boron that the world needs.
To shape a more equitable and sustainable future, we must pair innovative solutions with transparency.
Our mission is to achieve better outcomes for our people, the planet, communities, and customers.
U.S. Borax's sustainability agenda is aligned with Rio Tinto's environmental, social, and governance (ESG) approach to create a more equitable and sustainable future for the people and planet.
