† 2011 data is preliminary. The data forms part of the eight environmental and two occupational safety performance indicators which are being independently assured by Deloitte LLP. Final data will be published here in mid-2012, together with Deloitte’s assurance statement.

The biggest contributors to our reductions in CO2 and energy were:

  • electricity purchased for all factories in Europe and Canada is now from renewable sources

  • the introduction of three new biomass boilers in India in 2011

  • the installation of combined heat and power systems in many of our European factories over 2008-2011. By the end of 2011 this led to savings of over €10 million a year.
