Improving our energy performance is one of our company goals. To this end, our energy management team continually monitors the energy performance of our processes and works together with the relevant operational managers to find ways to improve it.
The efficiency of our energy consumption and usage is regularly monitored and analysed (Management Review). More energy-efficient alternatives are taken into account in the procurement process depending on availability, price and sustainability. Wherever possible, energy efficiency is already factored in when planning and designing construction or investment measures.
An energy management officer and energy team are appointed for this purpose and the information and resources required to reach our targets are made available.
The energy management processes are also monitored as part of our internal audit programme. In this way, we ensure that all requirements relating to underlying standards are being implemented correctly and that legal and other requirements are being adhered to.
All our employees are regularly instructed on energy management and energy efficiency but also have the opportunity to get involved in everyday work in these areas.
