*Excludes divested PP&S segment and is consistent with the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting
and Reporting Standard.
More recently, with the
divestiture of the PP&S segment in 2019 and the acquisition of Clariant

that of a true specialty enterprise—from which we can springboard to even
greater heights in the future.
