Reducing
our environmental impact by lowering resource consumption remains a key
objective. We closely monitor both energy (measured in GWh including electricity,
gas and fuel and water usage) in line with our corporate plans.
In 2010, we made significant progress in the following areas:
Global figure for energy consumption: stable at ~147 Billion Wh. This is down
by 0.1% compared to 2009.
Two new sites (Johannesburg in South Africa, and Barueri in Brazil) have reduced
our total figures for
MWh per m² and MWh per employee by 5.2%
and 6.3% respectively
We also made good progress at many other sites worldwide through effective planning, especially in France and Mexico. Nevertheless, a very cold winter in Finland once again meant increased energy consumption at our Vantaa site .
Global figure for water consumption: ~170 kM3.
This is a 7.2% reduction and more than 12% in cubic meters per employee.
Although many sites contributed to this success, our biggest achievements came
from Asian facilities. They delivered a more than 20% reduction thanks to
improved lawn watering and leakage tracking.
