EN3-7

Energy consumption and efficiency improvements

In total, 88% (90%) of the Group’s energy consumption derives from production facilities; the remaining 12% (10%) comes from offices and warehouses. Manufacturing comprises a mix of assembly and other processes such as metalworking, molding of plastics, painting and enameling.

EN3: Direct energy consumption by primary energy source [GJ]

Note: The calculation was based on WRI’s “Calculation tool for direct emissions from stationary combustion calculation worksheet, v.3.”

EN4: Indirect energy consumption by primary source [GJ]

Note: Energy reduction performance was calculated according to World Resources Institute (WRI). Electricity emissions factors were updated according to the 2013 data set as published by the International Energy Agency (IEA).

Energy saved due to conservation

The Group has a strong track record in energy reduction in operations and has a 2015 target in place to reduce energy use by 15% compared to 2011 production volumes. This is incorporated into the Electrolux 2020 50% carbon reduction target. The Group realized a 5.1% relative improvement in 2014 compared to 2013, in comparable factories. Comparable factories are those making finished products, excluding start-up and component production units. In absolute terms, the improvement in energy use was 3.4% compared to 2013. The average energy consumption per unit produced in comparable factories decreased by 22% over the last five years.

This data derives from 53 (57) factories, 30 (43) warehouses and 31 (43) offices.
