In order to guide our actions, we are implementing and maintaining an energy management programme focused on the following objectives: ▪ Continuous improvement of energy performance ▪ Considering energy performance when creating/ designing products, projects, processes and services ▪ Procuring products and services in a responsible and energy-efficient manner ▪ Reducing costs related to specific uses at each site and the company’s energy consumption Elsewhere, yearly investments are made at our manufacturing sites to acquire more energy efficient equipment (replacing refrigerated units with newer models, lighting, automating heating systems, installing insulation blankets at critical points along the thermal fluid network, etc.), and to revamp our manufacturing equipment to decrease consumption.
