Project Overview
A global manufacturing site was tasked with delivering on group-wide sustainability commitments. With a clear timeframe and a defined Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions target, the challenge was to develop a comprehensive plan to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions in line with corporate goals.
 

Key Actions and Results

• Baseline Established: Leveraging existing site data, a clear energy baseline was quickly established, providing the foundation for strategic planning.

• Defined Targets: A kWh reduction target was set based on Scope 1 and 2 emissions, aligning with group sustainability commitments.

• Holistic Planning: A single project or procurement change was not sufficient—an integrated 5-year capital and management plan was developed covering multiple technologies and operational improvements.

• First Initiative: The first implemented measure focused on optimizing the site’s vacuum system, delivering measurable savings in both energy and carbon from year one.
   

Outcome
This staged, long-term approach ensures that each year contributes to the broader goal. It provides time for capital planning, staff engagement, and iterative improvements—laying the foundation for meaningful and sustained carbon reduction.
