L LCA N NOx

Life cycle analysis

Comprising nitrogen and oxygen and including nitric acid and nitrogen dioxide gases. NOx are mainly produced by the combustion of hydrocarbons.

O OHSAS 18001/ISO 45001 International workplace health and safety management system standard Open Innovation

Plastic Omnium has chosen an “open innovation” approach. Its three main focuses are environmental sustainability, or how to move towards clean propulsion systems; the autonomous car and the shared vehicle, or how to integrate the new IT, data capture and processing technologies; and industrial performance (4.0 plant) or how to use data to create the most efficient production and logistics technologies while developing employees’ skills.

R RobecoSAM

RobecoSam (sustainable asset management): asset manager specializing in sustainable investment and the analysis of non-financial corporate performance (environmental, social, governance, etc.). The quality of the analysis produced has led it to create and manage jointly with Standard and Poors the “Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes, a family of indexes that assess the sustainable performance of the 2,500 largest companies ranked in the Dow Jones Global Total Stock Market Index. www.sustainability-index.com Through the injection of the additive AdBlue ® , this technology reduces NOx emissions (nitrogen oxides, which have adverse health effects) from diesel engines by 95%. SVHS are chemical substances that fall into one of the following categories: substances that are carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic for reproduction, persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic substances, very persistent and very bioaccumulative substances, substances that can disrupt the endocrine system. Severity rate of workplace accidents: number of days lost as a result of accidents multiplied by one thousand, divided by the number of hours worked (including temporary staff). A thermoplastic material is one that softens (we sometimes observe fusion) repeatedly when heated above a certain temperature, but which becomes hard again below that temperature. Polymer that hardens under heat. The constituting molecules connect to each other, making the polymer more rigid. Plastic Omnium uses this material in automotive parts for its lightness and resistance properties.

S SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction)

SVHS (Substance of Very High Concern)

T Tg (severity rate)

Thermoplastic

Thermosetting
