eROI - Environmental Return on Investment

Nalco helps our customers manage their use of natural resources, and reduce their environmental footprint. Our innovation leads to an Environmental Return on Investment...eROI.

Our expertise includes a commitment to the core tenets of sustainable development.

Environmental sustainability – Nalco’s mission is to deliver environmentally sustainable and safe solutions that bring value to our customers during their production and processing activities. In doing so, we help our customers gain eROI by reducing the demand for non-renewable natural resources, eliminating waste and minimizing the volume and impact of emissions to air, land and water.

Economic sustainability – Our customers demand environmentally safe process solutions, but they must deliver a tangible return on investment. This we deliver through reduced operating costs, maximized production, asset management and the avoidance of expensive regulatory non-compliance.

Social sustainability – Nalco scientists and field engineers conduct their work in environmentally safe ways, to the benefit of the local community and the world at large. Both the results of their work and the way they work positively impact the global quality of life.

Built upon a system of people, processes and tools, eROI provides a uniform approach that ensures the value we deliver is aligned with the needs and available natural resources of each customer we serve. We measure eROI within seven performance indicators:

Air - As we help customers use less energy, we reduce CO₂ emissions. We also improve air quality by minimizing particulate matter, SOx and NOx exposure.
Asset Management - Improved asset integrity through lower corrosion rates; impact of corrosion rate on asset left; reduction of contaminants wastewater. Improved productivity by producing more with less, reducing maintenance costs, reducing downtime and positively impacting product quality
Energy - Helping customers reduce the amount of energy they use
Raw Material - Reduce inputs required for end product
Safety - Reduce handling or exposure of hazardous materials
Waste Reduction - Minimize and/or eliminate waste
Water - Treating a range of water qualities in a manner that allows our customers to conserve freshwater or minimize/eliminate contamination

By better managing your resources, you can:

Decrease total cost of operations
Reduce environmental impact
Improve health and safety status
Enhance operating and production efficiencies
Maximize asset protection and reliability

All of this adds up to increases in Environmental Return on Investment for Nalco customers…eROI. And that equals sustainable profits.
