Air Quality
We manage our emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) as required by the Clean Air Act and regulated by the U.S. EPA. We have reduced our VOC and HAP emissions in the U.S. by 97 percent and 99 percent, respectively, since the 1990s, thanks to investments in new technology and process improvements. Today’s emissions are well below our compliance requirements and remain negligible. S&C’s standard procedures require any new materials used in our products to be reviewed by our HSE team. The team maintains a database available to all team members to continuously monitor and evaluate environmental concerns and new regulations.
