Measuring Our Progress
Toxic Release Inventory/National Pollutant Release Inventory
Boeing reports to Canada's National Pollutant Release Inventory (NPRI), which is similar to the U.S. Toxic Release Inventory report.
Boeing has reduced toxic releases by 60 percent since 2002, while overall transfers of chemicals to offsite facilities have increased 32 percent during the same period. This increase largely is the result of increased shipment of metal to off-site recyclers.
