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. Our manufacturing locations comply with all regulatory limits. 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. Even as our organization grows to meet customer demand, we will continue to proactively manage our emissions and avoid air pollution. We are following all applicable environmental regulations as we complete the expansion into our new facility in Palatine, Illinois. Any changes to VOC and HAP emissions will be noted in future reports, if applicable. S&C’s standard procedures require any new materials used in our products to be reviewed by our HSE&S team. The team also maintains a database available to all team members to continuously monitor and evaluate environmental concerns and new regulations.
