Momentive Releases Updated Sustainability Report

Thursday 04. July 2013 - Momentive Performance Materials Inc. ("MPM") and Momentive Specialty Chemicals Inc. ("MSC") today announced the joint publication of the latest version of Sustainability: A Top to Bottom Approach.

The report provides expanded metrics related to environmental and safety performance, as well as an update on a number of ongoing sustainability initiatives. For example, greenhouse gas emissions have been reduced by 6 percent collectively for MPM and MSC since 2010. In addition, MPM and MSC saw its aggregate Occupation Illness and Injuries Rate (OIIR) performance improve significantly as the injury rate declined by 66.9 percent over the last six years.
“We continue to maintain our strong environmental, health and safety (EH&S) focus and are committed to driving continuous improvements in all areas,” said Craig O. Morrison, Chairman, President and CEO. “Our sustainability report highlights our analytical, process-driven and metrics-based approach to maintaining safe and sustainable workplaces, conserving resources and protecting the environment for ourselves, our customers and our global communities.”
“MSC and MPM take an integrated business approach to sustainability with the ultimate goal of creating stakeholder value through environmental and product stewardship, risk management, safety and compliance,” said Karen Koster, Executive Vice President, EH&S. “We’ve seen this approach drive significant gains in our OIIR, as well as a 73 percent reduction in environmental reportable events, which includes permit excursions, environmental spills and releases, since 2007. While the goal remains zero injuries and environmental incidents, we are pleased to demonstrate continuous improvement in these critical areas.”
