2. How Evonik approaches the topic of Sustainability
Three Levers to Sustainability
Measure & communicate
Life Cycle Assessments, Carbon Footprint Estimations, SusCHEQs, Evonik Carbon Footprint
Optimize processes
Reduce energy and water consumption, decrease waste water and solid waste generation, close raw material cycles
High quality products
Long life time, more with less, recycle products, Design for Sustainability

3. Our Supply Chain is important – and Evonik is part of someone else‘s supply chain
Evonik Carbon Footprint
25.7 million metric tons total CO2e emissions
5.9 million metric tons direct CO2e emissions
Typical distribution for the chemical sector
About 30 % of emissions (Scope 1 and 2) can directly be influenced
MM mt CO2 equivalents

4. We are optimizing our gate-to-gate processes
Some Examples for Optimized Processes
Recovery and re-use
Raw material, intermediate, and product recovery from waste streams
Organic solvent recovery
Highest standards in waste treatment
Anaerobic processes for energy recovery
Compliance to very strict discharge limits
Safe in-house incineration of solid wastes
Energy- and raw material-efficient, high-yield processes
Top catalysts, high yields, low losses
Continuous improvement processes, e.g. Environmental Technology Excellence
