Reducing
our energy use
Fossil fuels such as oil, coal and gas release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and contribute towards global warming. Close to 60% of global greenhouse gas emis- sions come from energy production sources. Furthermore, energy use is closely linked to economic considerations, as evidenced by the crisis in Ukraine, which has led to a significant rise in gas and electricity prices.

OBSERVATION
Consolidated electricity and gas use (Thames, BBP, Security Label, PISAS, PIROM, EDM and ASK IntTAG sites):
Faced with climate challenges and the unprecedented increase in energy costs, it is essential for us to have a rigorous energy usage management policy whilst taking into consideration our commercial growth.

ACTION PLAN
Over the last 12 months, we have implemented an energy reduction strategy across all of our sites. This strategy is based on several measures, including campaigns to raise awareness among our employees, projects aimed at in- creasing the energy efficiency of our production processes, as well as targeted investments to reduce our overall energy consumption. These efforts have included the acquisition of new equipment and improvements to lighting systems.
However, it is worth noting that an incident occurred on the PISAS site, where the heating system broke down in the middle of winter. This situation impacted our gas use and explains the difference observed in our energy data. Despite this, our commitment towards reducing our energy usage stands firm and we are stepping up our efforts to further reduce the impacts of our energy consumption.
