Emission Intensity Ratio (EIR)
Emissions intensity ratios (EIR) are a useful way to define GHG emissions in an industry specific context as well as a way to track environmental performance with intensity ratios, often called normalized environmental impact data. GHG EIR express the amount of Scopes 1 and 2 GHG emissions per unit of activity, output, or any other organization-specific metric.
| Emission Intensity Ratios* (EIR) | 2023 | 2022 | 2021 | 2020 | 2019 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Manufacturing EIR (tCO2e/t) | 0.28 | 0.24 | 0.23 | 0.25 | 0.25 |
| Manufacturing Output (t) | 222,369 | 285,868 | 277,781 | 233,160 | 282,833 |

In terms of emissions of ozone-depleting substances (ODS), we did not produce, imported, or exported of such substances. We carefully track other air emissions such as Nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx), persistent organic pollutants (POPs), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), particular matter (PM), and other air emissions identified and disclosed.
