EFFLUENTS

ODOUR POLLUTION

Industrial euents generated by activity at our manufacturing sites may contain pollutants. For this reason, all our euents are routinely treated or pre-treated before being released into local sewerage systems or the environment, in accordance with current regulatory requirements. Each site is responsible for defining its own euent management programme depending on its activity levels, materials produced and products used. The Group has two objectives with regard to euent management: ■ improving purification yields for our treatment plants; ■ reducing, as far as possible, the volume and pollutant load of euents discharged. Our MANE Indonesia (in Cibitung), MANE KANCOR (in Bareilly), MANE Do Brasil and MANE Bar-sur-Loup (France) plants had treatment plants built on their sites to treat euents before they are discharged in the local sewerage network. There is also a treatment unit at our MANE Quéven plant in France, MANE Inc. in Lebanon, Ohio in the United States, and MANE Mexico, where we have Industria Limpia certification. Some subsidiaries reuse internally treated water to supply water to the gardens.

Certain MANE activities (manufacture of aromatic products and chemical synthesis activities) may cause odour pollution. When making flavours from garlic, blackcurrant or durian (a tropical fruit from Southeast Asia known for its very particular smell), strong odours are released. If conditions are not suitable, local residents can smell these odours. At our new manufacturing site in Indonesia (Cibitung), odour emissions from the production unit are processed using a biofilter in which the filter material is made up of compost, peat and wood bark. This facility is the largest biofilter used by the Group and can treat all extracted air from weighing stations in the flavour and fragrance production unit to reduce odour pollution.

NOISE POLLUTION

Our activities do not cause major noise pollution. However, some industrial machines are a source of noise pollution and can make work dicult for employees. We put in place adequate prevention and protection measures. We also carry out occasional noise level measurements at the property line.

Quality of euents

2021

Each Group site implements systematic retention methods and adapted maintenance programmes. These programmes make it possible to ensure the water-tightness of euent collection networks and to collect accidental spills in places where potentially hazardous products are stored or handled. The goal is to prevent their infiltration into the soil.
