- Work aimed at reducing the environmental impact of process water has been very successful. The hydraulic impact was cut by 13% at Perstorp. The reverse osmosis technique resulted in a cut of 50% in contamination at Bruchhausen. Toledo managed to cut water contamination by 40%.

- Most production sites reduced their energy consumption through process improvements.

- Some production units reduced their waste streams by developing processes so that items previously considered to be waste could be used as products in new applications. One example of this is waste methanol from production at Toledo.

- Many sites have completed processsafety projects, especially PontdeClaix, where a lot of time has been spent on risk and consequence analyses in accordance with French PPRT legislation.

- The production sites at Perstorp, Stenungsund, Bruchhausen and Toledo have been very successful with their Take Care behaviorbased safety projects in 2009.

- Major efforts have been carried out in connection with the EU’s REACH chemicals safety legislation.
