The Group targets a 30% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions by 2030 compared to 2020 baseline, with net-zero carbon neutrality by 2050.
sustainability_report p.16
Group commits to carbon neutrality across Scopes 1, 2 and 3 by 2050.
sustainability_report p.25
All operational sites to source electricity from renewable sources by 2025. As of 2022, 5 of 6 industrial sites are at 100%, with overall renewable electricity at 87%.
sustainability_report p.16
Reports alignment with SDGs 3 (Good Health), 5 (Gender Equality), 8 (Decent Work), 9 (Industry/Infrastructure), and 12 (Responsible Consumption).
sustainability_report p.14
In 2022 the Group became a signatory to the 10 principles of the UN Global Compact initiative.
sustainability_report p.13
Group signed Responsible Care charter in 2022, committing to safe chemical management throughout product lifecycles.
sustainability_report p.35
Haverhill site achieved ISO 14001 certification in 2022, bringing all six industrial sites to ISO 14001 certified. ISO 50001 certification in progress for remaining sites by end-2023.
sustainability_report p.25
EUROAPI became an independent listed company in May 2022 via spin-off from Sanofi, creating new standalone group with first ESG strategy.
sustainability_report p.2
Scope 2 emissions now include purchases of cooling water, chilled water and compressed air for Frankfurt site, previously not accounted for. This drove a minor increase vs 2021.
sustainability_report p.26
Scope 3 calculations improved in 2022 through modeling work and support from external consultant, contributing to the 11% reduction vs 2021.
sustainability_report p.26
From January 1, 2022, 14 weeks of paid parental leave granted globally to all employees welcoming a new child, regardless of gender.
sustainability_report p.14
Target reached in 2022: 30% women in ELT achieved ahead of 2025 deadline.
sustainability_report p.43
In 2022, 87% of electricity purchased by the Group was from renewable sources, with five of six industrial sites at 100% renewable. The Group actively purchases renewable electricity through long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), Guarantees of Origin (GO) and Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). Solar PV panels scheduled for installation at Haverhill (UK) in 2023. A 17 MW biomass boiler project initiated at Saint-Aubin-lès-Elbeuf to replace existing gas boiler, expected to cut CO2e by 76% when operational in 2026.
sustainability_report p.27
The Group targets carbon neutrality (Scopes 1, 2, 3) by 2050, defined as balance between emitting and absorbing carbon via carbon sinks. The strategy focuses primarily on emissions reduction via decarbonization of energy supply rather than dedicated removals or offsets purchasing. No specific DAC, BECCS or nature-based removal programs are disclosed at this stage.
sustainability_report p.25
All six industrial sites pursuing ISO 50001 energy management certification by end-2023. New buildings adopt carbon-neutral design prohibiting fossil fuels for heating. A 17 MW biomass boiler replacing gas at Saint-Aubin-lès-Elbeuf will cut site CO2e by ~76% when operational in 2026. Total energy consumption fell 9.2% vs 2020.
sustainability_report p.26
Group targets electric and hybrid vehicles only by 2025, and electric-only fleet by 2035, addressing Scope 1 mobile combustion emissions.
sustainability_report p.25
Purchased goods represent ~50% of Scope 3 emissions. The Group implemented programs focused on solvent recovery (68% solvent recycling rate in 2022), acids/bases reduction, and biotechnology yield improvements. Major €40M investment at Saint-Aubin-lès-Elbeuf to improve vitamin B12 fermentation productivity, halving water consumption.
sustainability_report p.25
Waste represents ~20% of Scope 3 emissions. The Group rolled out waste reduction programs across priority sites: Frankfurt to regenerate 800 tons of toluene/year via new distillation column in 2023; Vertolaye to add 3,000 tons distillation capacity; Budapest installing acetone distillation for 240 tons/year. Two of six sites now achieve 'zero waste to landfill'.
sustainability_report p.28
R&D programs apply 12 principles of green chemistry. Examples: flow chemistry at Haverhill (Sevelamer with water replacing solvents); biocatalysis at Budapest; biotechnology intensification at Brindisi and Saint-Aubin-lès-Elbeuf reducing chemical steps. Process Mass Intensity (PMI) metric being introduced for new projects.
