Fiche récapitulative
The project concerns the promoter's Research, Development and Innovation (RDI) investments in 2019 focusing on five segments, Chemicals, Materials, Industrial Solutions, Surface Technologies and Nutrition & Care, as well as on central Corporate Research.
The project aims at strengthening the promoter's long-term competitive edge through technology and innovation leadership and comprises a well-defined portfolio of investments in RDI in several of the promoter's key business segments.
The project mainly includes RDI activities that are not specifically mentioned under the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Directive and that will be carried out in existing facilities without changing their already authorised scope. The project will therefore not require an EIA under the directive 2014/52/EU. Full environmental details will be verified during the appraisal.
The promoter is a private company not operating in the Utilities sector and not having a status of a contracting entity. Thus it is not covered by EU Directives on procurement.
