Our EcoVision III environmental action program began in 2006 and will run through 2009. EcoVision III calls for improvements
in all major environmental parameters in manufacturing, compared to the base year 2005.
EcoVision III covers the contributors to climate change (energy, PFCs and other greenhouse gases), water, waste and a selection
of the most relevant restricted and hazardous substances. For nine out of the 13 defined parameters, we realized or exceeded
the reduction targets by year-end 2008. To achieve the defined targets in the four remaining parameters – one restricted and
three hazardous substances – we will work to realize further reductions in 2009. However, due to certain production processes,
for some parameters it may not be possible to achieve the stated targets.
