Since 2023, Arkema has been working with Carbone 4, a consultancy firm specializing in low-carbon strategies, to measure and improve its customers' environmental performance. This collaboration forms part of the Group's commitment to providing solutions that contribute to a more sustainable, low-carbon industry.

In line with new market and regulatory expectations, Carbone 4 developed the Net Zero Initiative, a methodology for calculating avoided emissions, in collaboration with the WBCSD (World Business Council for Sustainable Development). The initiative aims to provide companies with the tools they need to transition their operations toward making a fair contribution to global carbon neutrality.

Recognized internationally since 2018, this methodology makes it possible to assess the CO2 avoidance of an innovative solution compared with a standard alternative. The NZI offers a common language and methods for all stakeholders who wish to rigorously, ambitiously, and transparently manage their climate action. Arkema's goal in using this approach is to provide its customers with practical tools to measure and improve their environmental impact.

"The Avoided Emissions methodology allows us to evaluate the positive impact of our innovative solutions on the climate. It's not just about offering solutions that emit fewer greenhouse gases than existing market alternatives; it's about supporting our customers in their environmental transition by providing them with more responsible and effective solutions."
