Group commitment to carbon neutrality (Scopes 1, 2 and 3) by 2050.
sustainability_report p.25
In 2022, EUROAPI became a signatory of the Global Responsible Care Charter for safe management of chemicals throughout their lifecycles.
sustainability_report p.35
Scope 3 emissions decreased 11% in 2022 partly due to improvements in data quality and methodology, following modeling work and support from an external consultant.
sustainability_report p.28
The Group committed to a 30% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions by 2030 compared to the 2020 baseline, and carbon neutrality of its operations by 2050.
sustainability_report p.18
All sites expected to be compliant with ISO 14001 and ISO 50001 by end of 2023. As of 2022, all 6 sites ISO 14001 certified, 3 sites ISO 50001 certified.
sustainability_report p.15
Haverhill site achieved ISO 14001 environmental management certification in 2022, bringing total of certified Group sites to six (100%).
sustainability_report p.25
Target of 100% of sites with electricity from renewable sources by 2025. Achieved 83% of sites in 2022 (5 of 6).
sustainability_report p.18
In 2022, the Group became a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), committing to align operations with 10 universally accepted principles on human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption.
sustainability_report p.13
Scope 2 emissions now include purchases of cooling water, chilled water and compressed air for the Frankfurt site, which were previously not accounted for. This caused a minor 2022 increase vs 2021.
sustainability_report p.28
Target of 30% representation of women in Extended Leadership Team by 2025. Achieved in 2022.
sustainability_report p.14
Purchased goods represent almost 50% of Scope 3 emissions. The Group is implementing programs focused on solvents, acids, bases and biotechnology yield. Solvent recycling rate was 68% in 2022 with new distillation capacity being added at Frankfurt (800 t toluene/yr), Vertolaye (3,000 t study + 400 t recycling project) and Budapest (240 t acetone/yr).
sustainability_report p.28
Responsible procurement program structured around supplier risk mapping, mandatory Supplier Code of Conduct signature, ESG questionnaires for higher-risk suppliers (35.5% of raw material suppliers), and remediation plans. In January 2023 the Group launched the process for joining the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Initiative (PSCI) to share supplier audits. In 2022, three Group sites were audited according to PSCI principles. Over 71% of raw material expenditure is in Europe.
sustainability_report p.22
Commitment to reach Lost Time Injury frequency rate ≤1.5 and Total Recordable Injury frequency rate ≤2.5 per 1,000,000 hours worked by 2025.
sustainability_report p.32
EUROAPI became a new stand-alone listed entity through a spin-off from Sanofi, with shares admitted to trading on Euronext Paris on May 6, 2022.
sustainability_report p.4
On November 30, 2022, the Group proactively suspended release of batches and temporarily stopped production of prostaglandins at the Budapest site after identifying deviations from good documentation practices. Production gradually restarted on January 19, 2023.
sustainability_report p.19
Waste represents approximately 20% of Scope 3 emissions. The Group rolled out programs focused on waste reduction; as of 2022 two of six industrial sites achieved zero waste to landfill. Total waste sent to landfill cut nearly 30% versus 2020.
sustainability_report p.29
The Group actively seeks opportunities to purchase renewable electricity through long-term contracts such as Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and certificates such as Guarantee of Origin (GO) and Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). In 2022, 87% of electricity purchased was derived from renewable sources, with five out of six sites using 100% renewable electricity. A 17 MW biomass boiler is being installed at Saint-Aubin-lès-Elbeuf (operational 2026, ~76% CO2e reduction vs existing gas boiler), and solar PV panels are scheduled for Haverhill in 2023. Target: 100% renewable electricity at all industrial sites by 2025.
sustainability_report p.27
Group objective to have only electric and hybrid vehicles in its vehicle fleet by 2025, and electric vehicles only by 2035, addressing Scope 1 mobile combustion emissions.
sustainability_report p.25
Responsible Innovation program based on the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry. Examples: flow chemistry at Haverhill (largest marketed API produced via continuous chemistry); biochemistry intensification at Brindisi and Saint-Aubin-lès-Elbeuf (Project ELLA: vitamin B12 process targeting halved water consumption with €40 million investment); biocatalysis at Budapest; solid-phase peptide synthesis intensification. PMI (Process Mass Intensity) will be tracked for new projects.
sustainability_report p.23
Scope 1 reductions are pursued through a 17 MW wood-waste biomass boiler at Saint-Aubin-lès-Elbeuf replacing an existing gas boiler (estimated 76% CO2e reduction, operational 2026), and a potential biomass boiler at Vertolaye. Carbon-neutral design is now mandatory for all new buildings, prohibiting fossil fuels for heating and requiring heat pumps and renewable electricity. All sites pursuing ISO 50001 energy management certification by end 2023.
