Energy consumption and efficiency improvements
In total, 92% of the Group’s energy consumption derives from production facilities, the remaining 8% coming from office and warehouses. Manufacturing comprises a mix of assembly and other processes such as metalworking, molding of plastics, painting and enameling.
Energy saved due to conservation
Overall, direct and indirect energy consumption was 25% lower in 2010 than in 2005. Data for 2010 is based on 50 factories, 33 warehouses and 38 offices, compared to 52, 17 and 25 respectively in 2005.
Note: Energy reductions performance was calculated according to World Resources Institute (WRI). Electricity emissions factors were updated according to the 2010 data set as published by the International Energy Agency (IEA). Historical data have been revised and restated for indicators EN3, EN5, along with EN16, EN18 and EN19.
EN18: 2012 Energy savings target
The Group’s energy consumption has been reduced by 25% since 2005, corresponding to a reduction of 173,000 tons of carbon.
