Environmental compliance
In 2010, we recorded 67 accidents with the
potential to cause harm to human life, property
or the ecosystem and/or which can cause nuisance
to a third party. About half of the accidents are
related to the quality of effluent, which exceeded
the legal limits. Five production units had to pay
fines because of one or more environmental
breaches, amounting to a total of EUR190,000
(in 2009 the comparable figure was: EUR357,000).
Environmental and safety complaints
number
Group 2009
New reporters 2010
The number of environmental and safety
complaints related to environmental or industrial
safety accidents with off-site effects has decreased
from 75 in 2009 to 30 in 2010. This is mainly
the result of the implementation of preventative
measures based on lessons learned and due to
the temporary shutdown of the biomass plant
in Manchester (the UK). Half of the complaints in
2010 relate to nuisance by noise.
More sustainable buildings
Our energy and water successes have prompted
us to review the environmental performance of
offices and warehouses. An April 2010 seminar
on BREEAM (Building Research Establishment
Environmental Assessment Method) and LEED
(Leadership in Energy Environmental Design)
standards taught us more about energy-efficient
buildings. We have also made a commitment that
in 2011, we will start to measure and set targets
in relation to the environmental performance
of our buildings. To help us, we have joined the
International Sustainability Alliance (ISA), a group
of companies dedicated to achieving a more
sustainable environment through better
measurements and understanding of the
sustainable performance of buildings.
