KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 24 (Bernama) -- LyondellBasell (LYB), a leader in the global chemical industry, has announced updates to its 2030 climate and circularity goals, citing the need for disciplined capital allocation amid evolving market conditions and regulatory developments.
Reflecting current operating realities, the company now targets a 32 per cent reduction in Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, compared with a 2020 baseline, and aims to produce and market 800,000 metric tonnes of recycled and renewable-based polymers annually by the same year.
The company said its three-pillared strategy remains unchanged, focusing on growing and upgrading its core business, building a profitable circular and low-carbon business, and strengthening performance and culture.
LYB chief executive officer, Peter Vanacker said the company has made measurable progress and gained a deeper understanding of the factors that support value creation from circular and low-carbon solutions, while maintaining capital discipline in the current economic environment.
“These updates to our goals ensure we remain focused on advancing sustainability as a key value driver of our business at a pace aligned with market conditions and the regulatory environment,” he said in a statement.
Among recent milestones, the company has advanced construction of its first commercial-scale catalytic chemical recycling plant using proprietary MoReTec technology in Wesseling, Germany, supporting future growth in circular and low-carbon solutions.
LYB has also progressed in emissions reduction, including improvements at its Houston Refinery site and energy-efficiency initiatives across its manufacturing operations under its Value Enhancement Program.
In addition, the company has secured sufficient projects to reach its target of procuring at least 50 per cent of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030, based on 2020 procured levels.
Further details on LYB’s refreshed sustainability approach and the enablers supporting its targets will be released in its annual Sustainability Report in April 2026.

EXPEREO TO DELIVER FULLY MANAGED CONNECTIVITY SOLUTION FOR KINGSPAN INSULATION
KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 23 (Bernama) -- Expereo, a managed Network as a Service (NaaS) provider, has been selected by Kingspan Insulation to deliver a fully managed connectivity solution across its global operations.
Expereo’s solution enables Kingspan Insulation to consolidate its complex network of disparate Internet Service Providers (ISPs) into a single, centralised, fully managed solution, enhancing visibility, compliance, and operational agility.
“Global enterprises often struggle with fragmented networks that slow growth and increase risk. Our managed services and expereoOne platform provide the visibility, control, and agility Kingspan Insulation needs to support growth and innovation while reducing complexity and risk.
“With a single source of truth for all sites, services, and billing, Kingspan Insulation can scale confidently, stay compliant, and empower its team to focus on innovation and expansion,” said Expereo Chief Executive Officer, Ben Elms in a statement.
Kingspan Insulation manages a complex Wide Area Network (WAN) environment with 90 sites across multiple vendors, spanning 28 countries. This scale presents significant challenges in connectivity, compliance, and security, especially as the business shifts away from Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) and increasingly embraces Software as a Service (SaaS) and cloud-based services.
Expereo’s scope includes the design, implementation, and management of the network through expereoOne, its NaaS platform, offering Kingspan a single global view of all services. The solution covers both current and future sites under one contract, providing regional support and enabling rapid scaling during acquisitions or operational changes.
Through expereoOne, Kingspan gains full visibility and control over its network—from ordering and billing to ticketing and auditing. The platform also delivers real-time performance insights and utilisation reporting, allowing the company to optimise resources, maintain security, and streamline operational processes.
Expereo now manages Kingspan Insulation’s underlay and overlay services, including SD-WAN, Dedicated Internet Access (DIA), and broadband, with Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite connectivity under consideration for future rapid deployments. The solution allows remote SD-WAN setups to be completed in less than 30 minutes, offering flexibility for urgent business needs without compromising performance.
The partnership follows a similar selection by Kingspan Light, Air + Water, the global provider of smoke control, fire safety, daylighting, ventilation, water management, and storage solutions, which also chose Expereo to deliver a fully managed connectivity solution for its worldwide operations.

MAVENIR, RED HAT PARTNER ON-PREMISE AI FOR TELECOM NETWORKS
KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 23 (Bernama) -- Mavenir, the software company building artificial intelligence (AI)-by-design mobile networks, has partnered with Red Hat to deliver Conversational AI and Agentic AI service assurance solutions using Red Hat AI.
These carrier-grade generative AI (gen AI) offerings are powered by Red Hat OpenShift AI running on-premise, empowering telecommunications service providers with a highly scalable, security-focused, resilient and cost-optimised foundation for network operations.
The collaboration aims to transform the telecommunications industry by providing AI solutions that leverage service providers’ existing platform investments while enhancing security, resiliency, and low-latency performance—critical for real-time network operations.
According to a statement, Mavenir’s AI offerings are purpose-built for telecom, providing a more secure and cost-effective alternative to hosted as-a-service AI solutions.
With Conversational AI, operators can move beyond simple connectivity, enabling AI agents to act on the content and intent of communications. Agentic service assurance extends this capability by creating workflows and driving decisions across multiple network domains and data sources, detecting and correcting issues before they impact customers.
As part of deployment readiness, Mavenir and Red Hat collaborated with the Dell Technologies Open Telecom Ecosystem Lab (OTEL), which hosts AI infrastructure based on the Dell PowerEdge R760xa—engineered for AI, machine learning, and deep learning workloads. Dell’s OTEL experts worked with both engineering teams to fine-tune the large language model and maximise resource efficiency.
By deploying these solutions on-premise with Red Hat OpenShift AI, service providers can optimise Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) efficiency, maintain full control of security and governance, and more easily manage the complex AI lifecycle.
