2021 Annual and Sustainable Performance Report

WATER (chemical oxygen demand [COD] EFPI)

In 2021, Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) was stableand very close to the 2030 target. Efforts are continuing at sites to optimize waste water management.

2030 TARGET: reduce COD emissions by 60% in EFPI compared with 2012.

AIR (volatile organic compounds [VOCs] EFPI)

In 2021, VOCs were down, despite the increase in activity. This decrease is mainly the result of the ongoing collection measures and the reliability of treatments, and to a lesser extent, the completion of the PMMA divestment.

2030 TARGET: reduce VOC emissions by 65% in EFPI by 2012.
