Kern der Offenlegung
E2-4 reports amounts of material pollutant emissions to air, water and soil from own operations during the reporting period, including emissions caused by environmental accidents where applicable.
It also reports primary microplastics manufactured or used in products and the amounts directly released into the environment. Microplastics are part of E2-4 but not part of its official title.
Material pollutants are determined through managerial assessment that considers the undertaking's activities, sector, applicable E-PRTR and IEPR pollutants and other pollutants measured or monitored. A regulatory threshold is not automatically the reporting cut-off.
