Safety parameters and indicators
Environmental reporting
The purpose of environmental reporting is to
clarify the environmental effects of producing
malt, beer and soft drinks at our production
locations. These effects include depletion of
resources, emissions and nuisance. To measure
the results achieved in these areas, Group Supply
Chain has defined seven key parameters for our
breweries, maltings and soft-drink plants.
Performance is measured for four parameters in
terms of production, expressed in hectolitres
of beer and soft drinks or tonnes of malt, to
facilitate comparison of the results.
The eco management system comprises of the
following subjects: local environmental policy,
environmental management system, legal
compliance, violations of law, environmental
fines, environmental complaints, environmental
accidents, reliability of reporting. The greenhouse
effect covers C02 and refrigerant emissions.
The ozone-layer depletion covers refrigerant
losses (e.g. HCFCs), acidification covers NOx,
S0X, and NH3 emissions, nutrification covers
Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), nitrogen and
phosphorus in waste-water after treatment,
where discharged into surface water. Waste
management deals with the destination of
our by-products and hazardous waste.
