Our contribution to sustainable change

Our five pillars for sustainability

As the leading industrial coating resins company, sustainability is a key part of our continued success andcommitment to our stakeholders. We embrace this responsibility and stay focused and dedicated to pursuing agreener and more sustainable future together with our customers. With our broad portfolio of technologies andsustainable focus, we are your ideal partner to smoothly and successfully make the transition to green solutions.

We aim at improving our performance in terms of sustainability by taking action on five high priority areas, bothfrom a product and process standpoint. This underlines our commitment to deliver quality, eco-friendly and safer
products to our customers, as well as doing the right thing for the planet as a company.

We are committed to contributing to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainability Development Goals(UNSDG). While we are set on taking further action by implementing and further developing initiatives for all
the UN Development Goals, we are already able to make a significant impact in three key areas with existingmeasures and processes we have in place, focusing on five eco pillars:

Circular Economy
We explore options to limit resources consumption, keep them in use as long as
possible, and finally recover and recycle them at the end of service life.

Energy Efficiency

Energy Eﬃciency

We design our product and manufacturing process to achieve the highest efficiency
in energy utilization across the product lifecycle.

Renewable Sourcing
We aim at minimal use of finite resources and reduce the impact on climate change
by looking at renewable alternatives for raw materials and energy we use.

Air Emissions

Insights

Renewable materials are materials that can be
manufactured from renewable resources, e.g.
resources that replenish fast enough to keep pace withhow fast they are used up, either through biologicalreproduction or other naturally recurring processes.
The term ‘bio-based materials’ is generally used formaterials derived from renewable biological resources.
Value of using renewable materials
Replacing fossil carbon feedstock by renewable carbon
feedstock is overcoming issues of resources depletioncaused by intensive usage and can have positive
implications on carbon footprint. There is a strong
imbalance in the fossil carbon cycle considering the
rapid transformation of fossil carbon into CO2 (~10years) and the very slow fixation of CO2 into fossil
carbon (~10EXP6 years). The use of bio-carbon canaddress this cycle imbalance with a neutral carbon
footprint proposition -considering that the CO2
released in the atmosphere is coming from the same
quantity of CO2 fixation by plants during the photosynthesis.
Determination of the renewable content of a resin
The content of an organic material is defined by theweight percent of bio-carbon on the total weight oforganic carbon in the material/product (ASTM D6866).
% Bio-based (carbon) content = Bio (organic) carbon /total (organic carbon) * 100
In general, the renewable content can be expressedusing the following formula:% Biobased
Content

Amount of Biobased Carbon
x 100=
Amount of Biobased Carbon+ Amount of Petroleum Based Carbon

Types of renewable materials certifications
In the renewable material market, two types of biocarbon content certification exist:
C14 Certification - provided after the determination of
bio-carbon content using a C14 quantification in the
product. It implies that raw materials with certified
C14 content follow separated sourcing, storage andmanufacturing routes. When finished products leave
the production site, they are shipped to the customer
with C14 certification stating the amount of bio-carbon
content in the shipped product.
Bio Mass Balance Certification - provided when raw
materials with variable renewable content are mixed
during storage or during the production process.
When finished products leave the production site, thelevel of renewable content of the shipped product is
unknown but the mass-balance certification indicatesthat portion of renewable raw materials sourced isallocated to the certified grades.
Approach to the certifications
We will provide an allnex declaration of renewable
content based on our supplier’s statements andour internal auditing. This can be a C14 or Bio Mass
Balance declaration, depending on customer needs
and the raw material supply and process flows for a
specific grade.
We are working to strengthen our capabilities oncarbon footprint impact assessment and reporting.
Today, when applicable we will quantify the inherent
material carbon footprint reduction resulting fromthe replacement of one or more components withrenewable alternatives in our products. The value
is calculated from the measured bio-based carbon
content and the total carbon content, the weight ofbio-based carbon content being transformed in CO2emission savings (expressed in g/kg of dry products).
This value is independent from the process carbon
footprint and does not constitute a full lifecycle carbon
footprint analysis.

16

Bio-based raw material sourcing and potential
interference with the food chain
We are adopting a responsible sourcing vision todevelop our new renewable products, including
considerations on issues such as competition withfood, land use and impact on local communities inmaterials selection. We target whenever possible
sourcing from second generation feedstock, as byproducts/residues from forestry, agriculture, industry
or waste streams, and we evaluate sources that use
regenerative agricultural and forestry practices.

allnex

Verification of the renewable content of thesourced materials
We will run C14 control measurement at a third party
institute for materials supplied with a C14 certification.
For materials supplied with a bio mass certificate, we
fully rely on our vendor certifications.
