Carbon per million dollars of revenue. The legacy industry-standard reference (CDP, MSCI). Useful for cross-sector context, but distorted by margin — high-margin firms appear artificially efficient. Read alongside the operational and asset intensities for the full picture.
OpEx (operating expenditure) is the running cost of the business — staff, services, energy, materials. This shows how carbon-intensive operations are per million dollars of spend. Removes the margin distortion that revenue-based ratios introduce.
EVIC (Enterprise Value Including Cash) is the firm's total capital footprint — equity + debt + cash + minority interest. The EU's standard intensity measure (SFDR PAI 3) — answers: how much carbon does each million of capital deployed in this business produce?
PP&E (Property, Plant & Equipment) plus leased real-estate assets is the firm's physical infrastructure on the balance sheet. This shows the carbon intensity of that physical footprint — uses Scope 1+2+3 for consistency with the other headline intensities. Surfaces stranded-asset risk for asset-heavy firms.
How the firm describes its decarbonisation approach in its own words — alongside the headline numbers above. Self-reported, page-cited.
No narrative on renewables strategy in the firm's most recent reports.
Gattefossé funds reforestation as philanthropy rather than as carbon insets/offsets. Since 2020 supports OZ'Arbres in Madagascar (1M+ trees produced for endemic fauna and Malagasy communities).

Since 2022 contributes to ASD Impact Fund Kaleka Mosaik palm-landscape restoration in Central Kalimantan. No claim of removal credits used in the inventory.
Poseidon programme makes water efficiency a core industrial practice at Saint-Priest HQ workshops: -14% water consumption per ton produced over two years; 800,000 litres saved in 2024 via optimized production campaigns and 400,000 litres saved via cooling shutdowns. Recognised with Responsible Care Environmental Award (January 2026).
SBTi-validated target to cut Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 42% by 2030 vs 2021. Between 2021 and 2024, Scope 1+2 already down 9%. Saint-Priest site holds ISO 14001:2015 (renewed 2024) and is CDP-rated B in 2024.
100% of personal care ingredients are at least RSPO Mass Balance certified. Manufacturing sites in Saint-Priest, Singapore and Lufkin (Texas) are RSPO-certified. Member of ASD (Action for Sustainable Derivatives) and ASD Impact Fund (Kaleka Mosaik, Central Kalimantan). Classified 'Best in class' by Sustainable Palm Index with 88/100.
SBTi target to reduce Scope 3 emissions by 25% by 2030 vs 2021; already -24% achieved between 2021 and 2024. Supply-chain action focused on responsible palm oil (RSPO MB minimum for new personal care ingredients), ASD collective membership with 95% traceability to mills and 81% to plantations in 2025.
