As a player in the highly cyclical chemical industry - we believe that our strong focus on plastics and chemicals gives us a competitive edge. We have a dynamic leadership team that remains aligned with a simple, yet strong five-point strategy, and
– through strategic acquisitions and joint ventures – we have become the largest styrenics player in North America. In addition, NOVA Chemicals has the largest and one of the lowest-cost ethylene/polyethylene production complexes in the world, and we continue to invest in our technology platforms to deliver new and unique performance products for our customers.
NOVA Chemicals' investors continue to respond to our success in improving the risk/reward balance for our company. Given the highly cyclical nature of our industry, risk will always be an important part of the invest equation. The chart above shows our relative performance since 1999, our first full year of operation as an independent company. NOVA Chemicals has outperformed our peers and the Index by a widening margin.
