ACETO US LLC dba ACTYLIS

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.

In 2024, 40% of Actylis' global electricity came from renewable sources, with a target to reach 50% by 2026. Facilities at Ahmedabad, Montreal, and Eugene integrate modern energy-efficient systems. Renewable electricity totaled 3,601 MWh in 2024 (vs 3,413 MWh in 2023).

No narrative on durable removals approach in the firm's most recent reports.

• Natural gas and on-site fuel reduction (Scope 1)

  Scope 1 emissions of 2,760 tCO2e in 2024 are driven primarily by natural gas (13,530 MWh) and a small amount of diesel (35.5 MWh, down 83.5% YoY) and fugitive refrigerants (104 tCO2e). Site-level efficiency programs at Ahmedabad, Montreal, and Eugene target on-site combustion intensity. Target: 60% reduction in Scope 1+2 by 2035 vs 2024 baseline.

• Electricity decarbonisation via renewable sourcing

  Scope 2 (1,771→2,013 tCO2e) is being addressed by procuring renewable electricity — 3,601 MWh in 2024 (~40% of total electricity). Target to reach 50% by 2026, en route to the 60% Scope 1+2 combined reduction by 2035.

• Product LCA & packaging footprint mapping

  By 2025 Actylis will map the environmental impact of its core product & packaging portfolio. By end of 2026 it will perform Life Cycle Assessments on the core product range and exceed product regulations where possible. Tracks non-recyclable plastics per shipment in response to EU Plastic Tax regimes (Spain, Italy, UK).

• Site-level energy efficiency and process redesign

  Actylis invests in energy-efficient technologies and green chemistry. Facilities including Ahmedabad, Montreal, and Eugene have integrated modern energy-efficient systems. Site-level wastewater recycling at Runcorn (25,000+ litres saved) and rinse-waste recycling at Limerick (19,000+ litres saved) reduce operational footprint.

• Product & packaging environmental footprint mapping

  By 2025, Actylis will map the environmental impact of core products and packaging. By end of 2026, perform Life Cycle Assessment on core product range. EU Plastic Tax (Spain, Italy, UK) requires tracking non-recyclable plastics per shipment; CBAM becomes compulsory in 2026.

• Ocean-freight-dominated logistics (Scope 3 Cat 4)

  Over 98% of total ton-miles is shipped via ocean freight (the least carbon-intensive mode), 1% air freight and 1% ground transport. Actylis works with major shipping lines committed to reducing GHG emissions and is monitoring the EU maritime transport emissions regulations (2025–2050) for cost and carbon implications.

• Supplier decarbonisation via sustainability clauses & audits

  Actylis has assessed 100+ top suppliers via questionnaire + site audit; 100+ signed supply agreements with sustainability clauses, 500+ signed responsible procurement charter. Of top suppliers assessed, 68% had ISO14001 (environmental) and ~50% had ISO45001 (social) certification. Goal: all key suppliers above acceptable sustainability performance by 2028.

• Bio-based and circular raw material alternatives

  Long-term climate trends and fossil fuel restrictions affect raw materials — e.g. crude derivatives used in specialty chemicals may face future limitations. Actylis is exploring bio-based and circular alternatives. Member of RSPO for sustainable palm oil sourcing.

• Ocean freight as dominant logistics mode

  Over 98% of total ton-miles movement is done through ocean freight, the least polluting mode of transportation. Air freight and ground transport account for 1% each. Actylis works with major shipping lines committed to reducing GHG emissions and is monitoring EU maritime transport emissions reduction mandate (2025-2050).

• Purchased goods & services (Scope 3 Cat 1)

  Purchased Goods and Services plus Upstream Transportation account for 188,359 tCO2e in 2024 — 97.5% of Actylis' total inventory. The firm has assessed over 100 top suppliers for sustainability practices: 68% hold ISO14001 (environmental) and ~50% hold ISO45001 (social) certifications. Over 100 top suppliers have signed agreements with sustainability clauses and 500+ have signed the supplier code of conduct.
