Carbios publishes first Sustainability Report and underscores commitment to circularity and environmental responsibilities Clermont-Ferrand, France, 15 December 2022 (6.45 AM CET). Carbios (Euronext Growth Paris: ALCRB), a pioneer in the development and industrialization of biological technologies to reinvent the life cycle of plastics and textiles, today published its first Sustainability Report using 2021 as the baseline year. The report outlines Carbios’ commitment to developing environmental, social and governance (ESG) initiatives that go beyond the industrial development of its innovative plastics biorecycling technologies. Although not subject to the regulatory requirement of the Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD), Carbios has nonetheless structured its report in accordance with the requirements of the European directive on Extra-Financial Performance Statements. “This first Sustainability Report aims to communicate in full transparency our CSR[1] strategy, our values and our ambitions to contribute, with all our stakeholders, to building a sustainable future and a circular economy,” said Emmanuel Ladent, Chief Executive Officer of Carbios. “We commit ourselves to publishing a Sustainability Report annually, as we strive to continually strengthen our business practices to have a positive impact on the world and our fellow citizens.” Carbios’ sustainability strategy is based on three pillars (governance and ethics, the environment, social and societal issues) divided into 22 priority material challenges. Each one has led to the implementation of a dedicated policy and the monitoring of specific KPIs to anchor sustainable development in the day-to-day operations and at the heart of governance. With its breakthrough technologies, Carbios has the most advanced biological solution to move the plastic and textile industries towards circularity by keeping existing plastics at their highest value for as long as possible (almost infinitely) while reducing CO2 emissions. Carbios’ Sustainability Report reflects the company’s dedication to transparency in action and highlights its relentless efforts in areas such as environmental sustainability; employee relations, diversity and inclusion; and corporate governance. Within its 2021 Sustainability Report, Carbios has formalized several targets including: ENVIRONMENTAL OBJECTIVES: A sustainable company is an environmentally responsible company
SOCIAL OBJECTIVES: A sustainable company is a strong and desirable company
GOVERNANCE OBJECTIVES: A sustainable company is a diverse and inclusive company

Committed to developing innovative solutions for sustainable development, Nestlé Waters, PepsiCo and Suntory Beverage & Food Europe joined this consortium in April 2019. In 2022, Carbios signed an agreement with On, Patagonia, PUMA, and Salomon, to develop solutions promoting the recyclability and circularity of their products. The Company has also developed an enzymatic biodegradation technology for PLA-based (a bio sourced polymer) single-use plastics. This technology can create a new generation of plastics that are 100% compostable in domestic conditions, integrating enzymes at the heart of the plastic product.
