30. Chapter 2: The brewer (continued) weighting factors. As this new environmental performance indicator was only established in 2005, targets will be set from 2007. Environmental issues in the Eco Care Indicator are: the number of hectolitres under ISO 14000 has increased from 57 per cent in 2004 to 60 per cent in 2005; 27 breweries and soft-drink plants reported one or more violations of legal obligations in 2005, and €207,000 was paid in fines; 23 breweries and soft drink plants reported environmental accidents in 2005; the number of environmental complaints increased from 84 in 2004 to 89 in 2005; emission of acidifying gases: - NOx reduced from 3,140 tonnes 2004 to 1,970 tonnes in 2005 (more accurate reporting of emissions from electricity generation and internal transport. Also a too high figure was reported by one of the sites in 2004); - SOx increased from 2,490 tonnes in 2004 to 2,800 tonnes in 2005 (acquisitions and increased production volume); - ammonia losses reduced from 105 tonnes in 2004 to 74 tonnes in 2005 (technical improvements of installations and less overhaul/maintenance activities). 24 per cent of our breweries and soft-drink plants discharged untreated waste water in 2004 (25 plants) and 28 per cent in 2005 (33 plants); eleven sites were acquired which discharged untreated waste water. In the same period 4 units started waste water treatment and 4 units were divested; the effluent load discharged to surface water: - organic load increased from 127 ktonnes COD in 2004 to 139 ktonnes COD in 2005; - total nitrogen increased 627 tonnes in 2004 to 720 tonnes in 2005; - total phosphorous increased from 305 tonnes in 2004 to 429 tonnes in 2005. in 2005 the waste water treatment plants of Kaduna, Nigeria and Pointe Noire, Congo were commissioned; in 2005 98 per cent of the brewer's spent grains was recycled and 86 per cent of the surplus yeast; the non-recycled hazardous waste quantity slightly increased from 610 tonnes in 2004 to 710 tonnes in 2005; 75 sites (63 per cent) were PCB-free in 2005.
