Pollution of air, water, and soil
In 2025, VOC emissions remained stable while SO2 and NOx reduced mainly driven by a long shut down of a cogeneration plant.
Our 2025 phosphorus and nitrogen efficiency improved by 12% compared to our 2023 baseline, mainly steered by ANH site Lalden (Switzerland) that reduced its nitrogen emissions by more than 50% by reduction at source and additional end of pipe treatments.

Waste by disposal method
The standard for Sustainable Operations and Environment introduced in 2025 highlights the importance of reducing waste and particularly waste that is not valorized (landfilled or incinerated without heat recovery). Between 2024 and 2025 the amount of non-valorized waste reduced by 6%, 10% specifically for landfilling. This results among others from the identification of better waste treatment opportunities in Bharuch (India) or the reduction of non-valorized waste in Princeton (USA) through process optimization. We also strictly limit the landfilling of hazardous waste that was reduced by 18% compared to 2024.

Fines and sanctions
In 2025 the number of monetary fines increased as well as the total monetary values of the fines. This is due to fines of multiple sites.
