The Group’s total consumption amounted to 809,330 MWh for electricity and 304,762 MWh for natural gas. Energy consumption has been monitored for a long time and many gains have been achieved. Measuring kits enable machinery consumption to be verified and potential areas for savings to be identified. The implementation of an organization adapted to the health situation has had an impact on the efficiency level of the sites. The decrease in business or the elimination of a team during a 3x8 does not reduce energy consumption proportionally. Industrial processes involve time to raise equipment temperatures and it is sometimes impossible to stop the machines for a few hours. Each year, as part of the ACT FOR ALL TM Awards, the most efficient sites receive the Top Planet Award, a symbol of a remarkable effort in their consumption of energy, water, gas and waste treatment. These awards are generally awarded at the Top 100 managers meeting.

In addition to pricing conditions, the Group takes into account: the carbon footprint of the energy mix; ● the share of renewable energies; ● the supplier’s expertise to reduce the volume of energy consumption. ● Thus, working on energy storage enables Plastic Omnium to stabilize its consumption and not contribute to increasing demand during peaks in energy consumption. Indeed, peaks in consumption generally trigger the use of higher CO 2 -emitting energy sources. Renewable energy projects The Group aims to green its energy supply. Projects in particular to install solar panels on the sites using available space on parking lots and roofs are being carried out. They reduce the carbon footprint and electricity purchases by increasing self-generation. In 2020, two sites installed solar panels: the Arevalo and Warrington sites. On the Herentals site, solar panels were installed in 2019. On the Arevalo site, the 40,000 m 2 of solar panels should supply the equivalent of 9% of the electricity consumed. Studies are underway for the Warrington site. A plan is in place to use solar panels on sites. At least eight sites are targeted for 2021. TOP PLANET AND WASTE MANAGEMENT 4.6.3.2 Plastic Omnium’s two main business lines are based on transforming plastic into parts for the automotive industry. Depending on the part to be manufactured and the technical properties and desired esthetics, different types of plastic are used. The Top Planet program, launched in 2008, aims to reduce the environmental impacts of its plants and from its production. The Purchasing and Innovation teams work with the sites to manage the purchase of raw materials in order to increase the proportion of recycled products.
