On April 8, Brand Finance, a globally recognized authority on brand valuation, released its "2026 Ranking of the World’s Most Valuable Chemical Brands." The list features BASF, SABIC, Dow, Linde, and Rongsheng Petrochemical. Leveraging its robust brand resilience and global influence, Rongsheng Petrochemical has once again secured the fifth position globally. Its brand value grew by 2.3% year-on-year to $3.3 billion, making it the only Chinese brand among the top five.
This marks the seventh consecutive year that Rongsheng Petrochemical has appeared on this list. Since its debut in 2020, the company has consistently led among global chemical brands, establishing itself as one of the most stable and steadily growing brands in the industry. This achievement underscores the company’s operational resilience within a complex and volatile global market, as well as its growing influence and stature within the global petrochemical supply chain.
Behind these impressive results lies Rongsheng Petrochemical’s solid industrial foundation. As a world-leading producer of chemical materials, the company operates a 40-million-ton-per-year green petrochemical complex—the largest single-site integrated refining and chemical project in the world—with a total chemical production capacity of nearly 60 million tons. It is a major producer in China and across Asia for polyester, new energy materials, engineering plastics, and high-value-added polyolefins. Furthermore, it ranks as the world’s largest producer of chemicals such as PX and PTA, and holds a top-tier global position in the production of polyethylene, polypropylene, PET, EVA, ABS, and PC.
Beyond its formidable industrial capabilities, technological innovation and digital transformation serve as the core engines driving the continuous growth of Rongsheng Petrochemical’s brand value. By deeply integrating AI, the company has achieved intelligent sensing, dynamic optimization, and autonomous decision-making across its entire production process. This has not only enhanced the stability and safety of its facilities but has also yielded significant gains in quality improvement, efficiency, process optimization, and green, low-carbon operations.
In the realm of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance), Rongsheng Petrochemical’s outstanding performance has further infused its brand value with a commitment to sustainability. In 2025, the company’s MSCI ESG rating climbed from BBB to A—its best-ever performance—placing it among the top-rated chemical enterprises in China. The company’s performance across areas such as carbon emission reduction, water resource management, and corporate governance consistently surpassed the global industry average, earning broad recognition from stakeholders worldwide and successfully establishing an international brand image rooted in green, low-carbon principles.
Looking ahead, Rongsheng Petrochemical will leverage "new quality productive forces" to drive brand upgrading, deepen global strategic partnerships, accelerate digital transformation, and focus on the R&D and innovation of high-end chemical new materials. By steadfastly upholding its ESG commitments, the company aims to further solidify its leadership in the global chemical industry and contribute to the high-quality, sustainable development of the global petrochemical sector.
