VOC Emissionsfrom paintshopfacilities Nota:VOCemissionsfrompaintworkandpresses(emissionsattributablemainlyto separatingagents)aredeterminedby a materialbalance methodcompliantwith the principlesof the 1999/13/EC Directive. They representa very low part of emission(estimatedlowerthan 1% of total emission).

Other regulated atmospheric pollutants The gradualreplacementof conventionalhigh-sulphurfuel oil with low-sulphurfuelsand naturalgas has helpedto substantiallyreduce worldwidesulphurdioxide(SO 2 ) emissionsfromthe Group’splants. Since 2012 and the permanenteliminationof fuel oil usage, SO 2 emissionsare marginaland around9 tonnesper year. At the same time, nitrogen oxide (NO x ) emissions have also declined sharply thanks to improvements in thermalpower stations,and the choice of fuels (natural gas as a substitute for fuel oil). NO 2 emissions approach 850 tonnes per year, and the emissions are evenly distributed over all the sites,generating a very limited local impact.

For the AutomotiveActivities , 2019 results are at the same level thanin 2018.Car size increasecontinues,in linewithsuccessof SUV, LCV in termsof car design.Twocolourscars havealso an impactin terms of solvent consumption. SUVs and LCVs are currently manufacturedat plantsusingsolventbasedpaints,what negatively impacts the average VOC emissions per vehicle. These negative impacts are compensatedby process improvementand share of good practicesin management.This conductsto an averageresult of 28.7g/m 2 , in progressof morethan 2% comparedto 2018, and in linewithfuture emission limitvalues.

Other direct emissions SO 2 /NO 2 emissionshave been calculatedfrom fossil fuel energyconsumption(fuel oil, coal, coke, naturalgas and LPG), using emissions factorsas recognisedby theregulations.

Either at the instigation of public authorities or at the Group’s initiative,soil contaminationhas beenassessedat a largenumberof sites. For some plants with no significant impact, monitoringof undergroundwateris conductedto controlthat no transferoccurs. For other, remediation operations have been conducted or are continuing according to the programme validated with administration. AutomotiveTrade Since 2016, the AutomotiveTradeDepartmenthas chosento carry out soil studieson the installations identifiedas potentiallythemost pollutingat the time of sale or transfer.Particularattentionis paid to all pointsof salewithundergroundstructures.The objectiveis to ensurethat the Group’sinstallationsare well-maintained. In case of provenpollution,the Groupimplementsan actionplan to treat this pollution, incompliancewithregulatoryconstraints.

Strict proceduresare appliedto preventsoil pollution,in particular throughthe useof retentionbasinsfor liquidstorageand limiting,to the extent possible, the use of undergroundpipelines for fluids transportand conductingchecks and maintenanceon the existing underground pipelines. In addition,it aimsto discoverwhatpastpollutionmaybe presentin the soils of its sites.
