REDUCING AND REPLACING FOSSIL FUELS Plastic Omnium is cutting its energy use, increasing the portion of renewable energies in its energy mix, and planning to offset its residual CO2 emissions, mostly a result of using natural gas. In 2022, the Group launched an energy frugality plan to ramp up its efforts to combat waste and boost its energy efficiency. In partnership with Schneider Electric, it is working diligently to roll out solutions to cut energy use at its plants and increases its purchases of renewable energies. 112 SITES WITH ISO 14001 CERTIFICATION AND 50 SITES WITH ISO 50001 CERTIFICATION 13 SITES PRODUCE RENEWABLE ENERGY (WIND OR SOLAR) PROMOTING ECO-DESIGN AND INCREASING THE PROPORTION OF RECYCLED MATERIALS In 2022, Plastic Omnium launched a strategic project to develop the use of sustainable materials and tackle the triple challenge of cost, materials processing, and waste sourcing. Plastic Omnium continues to partner with TotalEnergies to manufacture materials from recycled polypropylene that will meet the industry’s design and safety standards. The Group is also working to improve the lifespan and reparability of materials, through programs such as the Grand Prix for Innovation awarded as part of the "Innovation Challenge". Centering on eco-design for vehicles, 2022 prize was awarded to the Smart Polymer Bumpers project, which is working on smart materials with the goal of extending vehicle lifetimes. USE 20% TO 100% OF RECYCLED MATERIALS 1ST DEMONSTRATOR BUMPER USING 50% RECYCLED MATERIALS LEVERS FOR REACHING CARBON NEUTRALITY With a 9% cut in CO2 emissions for scopes 1 and 2, and 5% for scope 3, solid results after the first year of deployment highlight the effectiveness of the levers identified in the Group’s roadmap. INNOVATING TO SUPPORT OUR CUSTOMERS IN THEIR ENERGY TRANSITION Reducing the weight of vehicle components, optimizing their aerodynamics and developing solutions to reduce their emissions: Plastic Omnium has been innovating to make mobility safer and cleaner for over 75 years. Today, the Group is ramping up its efforts so it can cover the needs for low-carbon mobility. Backed by a large-scale investment plan, the Group’s developments include a complete lineup of batteries, hydrogen storage and fuel cell solutions, all essential components of a successful energy transition. 19% OF ECONOMIC REVENUE GENERATED BY SALES OF LOW-CARBON MOBILITY SOLUTIONS €100M INVESTED IN HYDROGEN ON AVERAGE EVERY YEAR STRENGTHENING THE COMMITMENT OF SUPPLIERS AND PARTNERS Plastic Omnium has shared its carbon neutrality roadmap with its suppliers and launched a survey to analyze their decarbonization maturity. The Group intends to work with them to put together plans for cutting their emissions adapted to their specific circumstances, and to raise their awareness about critical issues with tools such as a training webinar on energy management. CARBON MATURITY OF OVER 500 SUPPLIERS ASSESSED ENCOURAGING EMPLOYEE INITIATIVES In June 2022, Plastic Omnium joined together its human resources and sustainability departments. The newly merged department places people at the heart of its strategy, strengthening employee engagement and the Group’s attractiveness as an employer. A network of volunteer Sustainability Ambassadors was created to support the rollout of sustainability initiatives within Plastic Omnium.
