Sustainability Statement Pollution (E2) 04 Seven substances were deemed material and included in a measurement plan deployed during the year by an independent laboratory in all the facilities in the tire production scope of operations. Substance All facilities Operations concerned Synthetic elastomers Metal reinforcements Assembly and curing Rubber compound preparation Total nitrogen X Total phosphorus X Chemical oxygen demand X Zinc and zinc compounds X X X Copper and copper compounds X Lead and lead compounds X Nickel and nickel compounds X The materiality assessment will be pursued in 2025, to extend it to other business operations and to further analyze substances in the tire production business base whose materiality could not be assessed due to a lack of data. The consolidated emissions of these substances in 2024 was not disclosed this year, as the Group did not have enough data for a comprehensive assessment. The Group’s international footprint means that implementing the plan in every host country is a complex process, although there is a possibility that the consolidated amounts may be disclosed in the 2025 Sustainability Statement. 4.3.7.3 Substances of concern (SOCs) and very high concern (SVHCs) Substances of concern (SOC) Michelin is initially focusing on measuring the amounts of SVHCs in its operations. To be able to disclose a sufficiently reliable SOC metric, a feasibility study is scheduled for early 2025 to help identify the digital and other tools needed to support an SOC reporting process. The Group believes that in 2025, it will be able to indicate when it will be able to disclose SOC amounts. Substances of very high concern (SVHCs) To comply with this disclosure requirement, and in line with related European regulations(1), a minimum SVHC content of 0.1% has been set as the threshold in assessing both purchased raw materials and products placed on the market. Bear in mind that the Group processes around three million tonnes of raw material every year. Michelin does not produce any SVHCs, but an analysis of the raw material portfolio shows that some materials contain SVHCs in excess of 0.1%. Potential emissions from the production plants are covered by the materiality assessment of the substances listed in Annex II of Regulation (EU) no. 166/2006. Unmounted tires placed on the market by Michelin contain no SVHCs in excess of 0.1%. The amount of disclosed SVHCs corresponds to the amount of SVHCs in these raw materials. E2-5 Substances of very high concern Total amount of substances of very high concern procured (E2-5-35) 2,047t Historically, to guarantee superior product performance, Michelin has vertically integrated the production of elastomers, fabric or metal reinforcements and certain other components. The inhouse production of these components accounts for most of the SVHC tonnages used. However, because they are consumed during the manufacturing process, none of these SVHCs are present in excess of 0.1% in any finished product. SVHC content has been calculated based on the raw material safety data sheets and purchasing data for the tire operations (excluding Camso). Depending on the substance, purchasing data may be actual or estimated, with estimates covering less than 9% of the total tonnage. The Group will gradually integrate the former Camso operations and other currently excluded activities.
