Sustainability continues to climb in the priorities for boards and CEOs, driven by shareholders, consumers, government policy, or simply internal priorities and belief systems. But sustainability is a complex concept.
The complexity does not alter the criticality – and Fastmarkets has a role to play
Fastmarkets creates transparent markets that help our customers build a more sustainable world.
The key principle is transparency: our ability to create mechanisms in the market that guide decisions and enable the flow of capital to fund the critical steps that build a more sustainable world and positively impact economic performance.
Supporting circular economies
The ability to stimulate the growth of circular economies may present the best example.

Fastmarkets is creating transparency in critical recycling markets, for example:
Examples of Fastmarkets’ prices that create transparency in these opaque markets include our Midwest and Asia scrap benchmarks, old corrugated containers (OCC) and recycled linerboard prices, and price assessments in critical new areas like the southern US are giving traders, planners, risk managers and investors the clarity to navigate a rapidly changing market.
