Environmental Performance

Energy Intensity

The above chart has been updated to reflect refined calculations

Hazardous Waste Indexed to Production — (Without Biosolids)

Note: 2020 rate increase was negatively influenced by pandemic-related decreases.

Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) — (Tons)

Sulfur Dioxides (SO₂) — (Tons)

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) — (Tons)

Reportable Releases — (Releases Reported by Number)

Note: "Reportable Releases" - global metric that includes significant or potentially significant releases/spills requiring notification to regulatory authorities

Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) Emissions*

*Baseline normalized for Solutia and Taminco acquisitions, restart of production plant, and refinement of methodologies.
**Decreases due to switch from coal to natural gas boilers, reliability program and additional equipment installed to decrease emission from increased production.

Greenhouse Gas Intensity

(Equivalent CO2 emissions per Pound of Product Produced)

2010-2012 US emissions calculated by EPA's GHG reporting rule and Non-US emissions calculated by ACC's GHG Protocol.
Currently updating to reflect Solutia acquisition.
