The actual metric can be found on Pg 114. On page 84 the report states "As a company that uses many solvent-based materials, 3M inherently releases volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from many of our manufacturing processes. Because of this, many of our locations require permits with rigorous VOC tracking requirements. Even where tracking is not required from a regulatory perspective, 3M voluntarily tracks VOC usage and emissions from major sources of emissions in order to identify further opportunities for reduction. 3M has developed internal programs to minimize its VOC emissions. We track and report emissions based on raw material usage, engineering estimates, and stack test data".
