Expert Statements
Bob Rasmus, CEO of Arq
“2025 was a year of ongoing transformation at Arq. Our PAC business continued to thrive, and we successfully commissioned our GAC line. However, the difficulties we then faced in bringing GAC to reliable, full-scale commercial production affected our sustainability performance, and we have chosen to report on that openly. Alongside those challenges, the report shows a great deal to be proud of - from resetting our core values with safety at their center, to lower water use, excellent delivery performance and continued land reclamation.”

“We are focused on expanding our portfolio of advanced activated carbons to address emerging contaminants, including PFAS via our PAC for PFAS™ products. In addition, we continue to responsibly manage more than $500 million of assets that provide the foundation for a profitable and sustainable business. None of this would be possible without our people, so I'm especially pleased to be able to report such a strong ongoing safety record.”
