Energy
Increasingly, we are involving greater numbers
of employees outside the brewing, packaging
and production processes in the question of
energy efficiency.
Activities in 2007
During the year, we initiated an indicative study
to determine our carbon footprint (the total
amount of greenhouse gasses (expressed in C02
equivalents) emitted over a product's entire life
cycle). This is the beginning of a complex process
in which we need to consider the emissions
created through a significant number of variables
such as growing and harvesting, brewing,
transport of raw and packaging materials;
distribution of finished product; distances travelled
and cost of dispense at point of purchase or
consumption. More information about the carbon
footprint project can be found elsewhere in this
report (see page 9).
The installation of an energy efficient brewhouse
(wort stripper) in Mons(France) has reduced
thermal energy requirements significantly. The
sites in St. Petersburg (Russia) and Aba (Nigeria)
renovated the heat generation plants that helped
improve their efficiency. Our production sites in
Lezajsk (Poland), El Obour (Egypt) and Sterlitamak
(Russia) saved energy through active monitoring
and specific reduction programmes.
The constant focus on actions to save energy in
Sterlitamak (Russia) and the technical improvement
of the cooling plant in St. Petersburg (Russia)
have contributed to a greater efficiency of our
electricity consumption. In Ho Chi Minh City
(Vietnam), reductions in electricity consumption
