Work aimed at reducing the environmental impact of process water has been successful at a number of the Perstorp Group’s production sites.
Significant risk elimination and safety analyses have been carried out at the largest production sites. The Pont-de-Claix site in France has carried out an extensive risk assessment in accordance with French PPRT legislation. The French site has also received its ISO 14001 environmental certificate.
Major efforts have been carried out in connection with the EU’s REACH and CLP chemicals safety legislation. Perstorp played a leading role in the registration of 18 substances produced in, or exported to, the EU. A total of 59 substances were registered in 2010.
Together with the Technical Research Institute of Sweden, SP, and in dialogue with a number of our customers, Perstorp started to establish Carbon Footprints for some of the Group’s major products in 2010.
Emissions of nitrogen oxide to air have decreased in Freeport, USA, and Stenungsund, Sweden, thanks to the installation of new steam boilers.
The production sites at Perstorp, Stenungsund, Bruchhausen and Toledo have been very successful with their Take Care behaviour-based safety projects in 2010.
The Corporate Responsibility Report for 2011 will be published by the beginning of April, 2012.
