FY 2020 was fully dominated by COVID 19. The pandemic forced the organisation to adapt all procedures towards Covid-resistance. Social distancing, increased hygiene and the wear of protective materials have become a common daily practice. Only this way, safe operations could be guaranteed to supply customers with requested materials. Amongst all this, the phenol recovery unit was successfully started; this is the beginning of a broader circular program in which not only phenol will be recovered, but also waste water will be purified so it does not need to be disposed off externally but can also be reused in production. The UN SDGs are increasing their impact on business; The UN SDGs are increasing their impact on business; more and more customers are implementing this philosophy. As a consequence, the development of SDG-compliant products and the optimisation of resources (energy/ raw materials) are getting an increased attention within the company. |

2020 has been a year of survival, where at the beginning of the year, due to the automotive crisis, a restructuring was applied to adjust the headcount, and during some months some unemployment days were applied in some departments to unify the fluctuation of the orders due to the COVID-19 crisis, which dictates to us all. Despite that there was only 1 LTA (no critical one), safety has continued being the first priority, thus we had applied some actions to reduce ergonomic risks in some lines. |

In FY2020 safety and housekeeping remained our top priorities. Unfortunately, we had 4 LTA cases, but a big focus was put on preventive and corrective actions concerning EHS-related issues. As part of innovation projects, a lot of energy was also put in upgrading the F-line to enable production of epoxy-based products, which was succesful. The COVID-19 pandemic, had an impact on a shifted demand during FY2020, which required a huge flexibility on production capacity. |
