UEIL Sustainability Survey - Results


Our respondents shared their sustainability journey with us! Find out more about the results of the 2021 Sustainability Survey of UEIL’s Sustainability Committee


Dr Christine Fuchs, Dorottya Meszner and John Eastwood, UEIL Sustainability Committee


Background to the survey The objectives of the survey were to help UEIL to define a sustainability benchmark for its members, to provide clarity about support needed to increase their sustainability efforts, and to inform stakeholders (including regulators) and the public about the contribution of the lubricants industry to delivering on sustainability objectives. Responses were collected anonymously between 17 May and 18 June 2021. All companies operating in the lubricants supply chain were invited to participate in the survey, regardless of their status within their own sustainability journeys.


Who were the respondents? Respondents were asked to submit one response on behalf of their company and to indicate in which country their company was headquartered, which resulted in a total of 189 respondents from 27 countries. The overall response rate to the survey was very positive, around 40-50% providing UEIL with a great picture of sustainability considerations in the lubricants sector.


should be noted that 32 said they identified their role in ‘other’ functions. When it comes to the three countries with the largest number of respondents (Germany, the UK and the US), the trend was similar but with a higher percentage of UK respondents being in the position of CEOs or Directors, which could indicate that sustainability related topics are handled on a higher management level compared to other countries.


In terms of the department that respondents belong to, 62 identified with a Sales and Marketing department and 30 with Research & Development, but it is again worth noting that 62 answered they belonged to ‘other’ departments, with many specifying that they are in “Management” or “Leadership” roles rather than a specific department.


Most of the respondents said they were working as either CEOs or Directors (65) or Managers (77) but it


Interestingly, 19 responses came from people operating within a functional group of Sustainability. This suggests that many responding companies consider sustainability important enough to have a dedicated department. The figure may in fact be higher as some respondents to the survey might identify with another function but completed the survey on behalf of their companies which do have a sustainability function.
