2. ENVIRONMENT

General aim: Reduce environmental footprint

ACHIEVEMENTS:

• Water withdrawals decreased significantly. However, this is primarily a result of lower demand for cooling water at energy production facilities
• The waste recovery rate improved by 6% to 66% at a group level
• The total volume of hydrocarbons in spills of above 1 m3 decreased to 16.9 m3

CHALLENGES:

• Increases in air emissions both in the case of SO2 and NOx as a result of increases in fuel consumption instead of natural gas
• Containment and further decrease in remediation liabilities across MOL Group
• Decreases in water withdrawals do not follow energy efficiency and operational changes
