NOVA Chemicals – COMPANY PROFILE

NOVA Chemicals is the largest petrochemical company in Canada, producing the highest volumes of ethylene and polyethylene in the country. From humble roots as a pipeline company and our first “little ethylene plant on the prairies” in the 1970s, the company – headquartered in Calgary, Alberta and operating with a 90 per cent Canadian employee base – has grown to become a multi-billion-dollar player in petrochemicals and plastics. NOVA Chemicals’ driving purpose is to reshape plastics for a better, more sustainable world through delivering innovative, Canadian solutions that help make everyday life healthier and safer; being a catalyst for a low-carbon, zero-plastic-waste future; and unlocking the potential of our people and partnerships.
