“As a global leader in the methanol industry, we recognize that we have an opportunity and are well-positioned to actively participate in the transition to a low carbon economy,” said John Floren, President and CEO of Methanex. “In this year’s report you will read how we have deepened our understanding of the opportunities and the risks for methanol and our business as part of the energy transition.”
