What is the amount of substances of very high concern that leave the company’s facilities as part of products, and how is this broken down by the main hazard classes of substances of concern?
CSRD
To disclose the total amount of substances of very high concern generated or used, as well as the amounts leaving your facilities, you should categorize the substances according to their main hazard classes and report the specific quantities in each category. Here's how you can structure the disclosure for each of the required areas:
Total Amount of Substances of Very High Concern Leaving Facilities:
This section reports the amount of SVHCs leaving the facilities as emissions, products, or as part of products or services. It is split into the following categories:
c) As Part of Products:
Amount of SVHCs included as components or parts of products (e.g., electronic components, materials within manufactured goods).
Main Hazard Classes of Substances of Very High Concern:
Ensure to categorize each of the substances of very high concern reported above into their main hazard classes, including:
Carcinogenic (cancer-causing).
Mutagenic (affecting genetic material).
Reproductive toxicants (harmful to reproductive systems).
Persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT).
Endocrine disruptors (chemicals that affect hormonal balance).
Measurement Methodology:
Direct Measurement: If you measure the quantities of substances directly through testing or sensors (e.g., emissions testing, product analysis).
Estimation: If you estimate the amounts based on production volumes, industry standards, or sector-specific studies, specify the basis for those estimates.
