9 Continuously Working on Quantitative EHS and Energy Targets Safety Environment Energy & Climate Lost Time Injury Frequency Target Specific dust emissions 100% 60% -50% Target 50% Spec. energy consumption 3 100% 60% -50% Target 50% Process Safety Incident Spec. rel. VOC 2 / Spec. NO x Spec. CO 2 emissions Target % -25% Target 75% 100% 86% 85% -15% Target EHS = Environment Health Safety; 2) VOC = Volatile Organic Compounds; 3) Targets for Germany 8

10 Production & Safety Integrated Production and a Groupwide Safety Management System 9 Just in case, WACKER s chemical containment technology

11 WACKER s Integrated Production System is a Key Competitive Advantage and Helps Avoid CO 2 Emissions Hydrogen Chloride System Very High Recycling Rates Integrated production at Burghausen prevents about 1 million metric tons of CO 2 eq* emissions annually Closed Loops Reduce Waste Byproducts and waste heat are fed back into production via highly complex material and energy loops *CO 2 eq=co 2 equivalent 10

12 By Generating our Own Electricity, the Burghausen Site Contributes to Climate Protection Burghausen Power Mix 4,103 GWh Consumed in Germany Hydro German production sites account for 71% of groupwide electricity needs Renewable Other Nuclear CHP About 50% of our specific energy mix is generated onsite in Burghausen Our carbon footprint from power production is 19% lower than the German electricity mix* Lignite Coal Natural gas Own production Own hydro operations: 265 GWh annually Own highly efficient combined heat and power (CHP) plant: Fuel efficiency >80% German Power Grid *calculated for

13 Our Environmental Management Controls Emissions to Water and Air Greenhouse Gases and Air Pollutants Fewer Dust Emissions Fewer Water Pollutants Fewer CO 2 Emissions Silicon-metal production Process optimization Reduction of specific dust emissions by 50% since 2012 Wastewater treatment plant Emissions of organic pollutants to the Salzach river have decreased by 42% since 2010 DPP* production Ethylene recovery plant CO 2 emissions reduced by 6,800 mt per year since 2015 DPP=Dispersible polymer powder 12

14 Workplace, Plant and Transport Safety Underpin Uninterrupted Production Risk Management Extensive safety and risk analyses of plants from the design stage through to commissioning Basic and Advanced Training Regular seminars on plant safety, explosion protection and work safety Prevention The Loss Control Team studies fire and explosion hazards as well as other risks at our sites Only 1.4 workplace accidents per 1 million hours worked in

15 We Constantly Strive to Optimize Logistics Chains Logistics Improved logistics for maritime transport Responsible Care award for our container train concept Transferring freight transport from road to rail where possible WACKER s 600-meter-long container train travels every day to export ports Transport Safety Shipping volumes of around 825,000 metric tons annually from the Group s largest logistics hub in Burghausen Regularly reviewing our shippers Hazardous-Goods Vehicles are always checked prior to loading Solid performance in 2017 Only 1.4% of safety checks justified a complaint 14

16 WACKER Determines and Improves the Sustainability Performance of Suppliers via the TfS Initiative Together for Sustainability (TfS) One Audit is an Audit for All A standardized, global program that assesses and improves the sustainability of sourcing practices in the chemical industry Supplier Audits Customer Supplier TfS system Customer Suppliers 8,692 suppliers assessed since 2011 and 1,187 suppliers audited 1,794 new assessments in 2017 and 441 new TfS audit reports Target: Assess 70% of WACKER s suppliers by 2020 WACKER Audit as per TfS standards at WACKER s Burghausen site in 2016 Reassessment by EcoVadis in
