of electricity for specific services. They are recorded and
calculated in accordance with the standard “A Corporate
Accounting and Reporting Standard - Revised Edition” of
the Greenhouse Gas Protocol initiative. The energy consumption
of all production sites included in the scope of consolidation
is recorded and evaluated in a global IT system.
The CO² equivalents for Scope 2 are calculated based on
conversion factors (g CO² / kWh) defined by International
sequently, the evaluations are made available to all responsi-
ble persons (such as the Management Board, division pres-
idents, managing directors, and EH&S experts). On the basis
of this data, ALTANA’s Management Board, together with
the EH&S department, sets target values for the three WAIs
for each year, which apply equally to all companies of the
ALTANA Group.
For 2020, ALTANA again lowered the target values for
all three accident indicators (WAI 1: 2.8; WAI 2: 2.0; and
WAI 3: 35.0), once again emphasizing how important occupational
safety is for the Group. In the year under review,
we succeeded in achieving these target values and significantly
reducing the accident figures in all three categories.
Globally, 19 accidents with lost work days were reported at
ALTANA, 13 less than in the previous year. Based on the
hours worked, the WAI values are as follows: WAI 1: 1.8 (previous
year: 2.8); WAI 2: 1.0 (previous year: 2.1); and WAI 3:
19.5 (previous year: 34.8). ALTANA achieved these good results
by means of various measures to improve employees’
safety awareness and the Group’s safety culture as a whole.
The further development and implementation of technical
and organizational measures as well as behavior-based safety
training are intended to lead to safe action in every situation.
ALTANA has also been addressing the issue of energy efficiency
and the associated greenhouse gas emissions for
several years. In addition to absolute values, energy consumption
is set in relation to the quantity of finished goods produced.
ALTANA establishes annual reduction targets for energy
consumption in relation to the quantity of finished
goods produced. The recording and calculation of emissions
relates, as Scope 1, to direct greenhouse gas emissions
from emission sources owned or controlled by the Group.
These include, for example, the combustion of primary
energy sources in the course of heat generation and fuel consumption
in the company’s own vehicle fleet. Scope 2 includes
indirect greenhouse gas emissions from the purchase
