2. RESPONSIBLE MANUFACTURER
AIMS AUDITS (health, safety, environment)
Percentage of AIMS audited sites
Arkema has developed the Arkema Integrated Management System (AIMS), which combines in a single audit all the safety, security, environmental and quality audits we perform. In 2019, 80% of the Group’s sites were audited using AIMS.
2025 TARGET: To carry out AIMS audits on all sites
SAFETY
Total Recordable Injury Rate (TRIR) per million hours worked
In 2019, Arkema further consolidated its performance with a TRIR of 1.4, almost the same as 2018. This figure takes into account the excellent results for external companies’ personnel (TRIR of 1.1 compared with 2.3 in 2018).
2025 TARGET: TRIR < 1.2
Process Safety Events (PSE) rate
In 2017, Arkema adopted a new process safety indicator, Process Safety Events (PSE) per million hours worked. In 2019, the PSE rate improved to 3.7 as a result of targeted actions on sites.
2025 TARGET: PSE rate < 3
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
By 2018, Arkema had achieved three of its four strategic environmental targets for 2025, and decided to revise them with a new, more ambitious target for 2030. The new climate indicator is expressed as an absolute value to ensure consistency with the Paris Agreement. The three other targets – energy, water and air – are based on Environmental Footprint Performance Indicators (EFPIs), which reflect changes in the Group’s business scope and plant output.
Climate (greenhouse gas emissions)
In 2019, Arkema reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by 13% compared with 2015.
1. Target in absolute terms compared with 2015 for scope 1 and scope 2 emissions as defined by the Kyoto protocol, plus substances defined by the Montreal protocol, in line with the Paris Agreement
2030 TARGET: Reduce greenhouse gases by 38% compared with 2015
This means a reduction in absolute emissions of more than 1.7 million tons of CO2 equivalent to under 3 million tons by 2030, whatever the increase in production volumes.
Energy (net energy purchases EFPI)
In 2019, the increase in this indicator was due to the decline in production volumes at some plants.
2030 TARGET: Reduce the net energy purchases EFPI by 20% compared with 2012
