Launched Environmental Policy
in all factories
Initial development of monitoring,
evaluation and reporting tools and
processes
Electricity and gas consumption
per mt at main sites worldwide are
decreasing, though costs are
increasing due to higher energy
prices, different factory mix and
exchange rates
Continued participation in Carbon
Disclosure Project to measure
emissions using the Greenhouse
Gas Protocol methodology revealed
an overall increase of 3% in
emissions from 72 mt of co2/1000
MT of production output in
2006/07 to 75 mt of co2/1000 mt
in 2007/08. This was due to
relatively high fixed energy
consumption at some sites that
stayed constant despite reductions
in production volumes
We have increased production in
origin countries of cocoa liquor
(55% of total production) resulting
in an 18–20% reduction in
transport weight (beans compared
to liquor)
Cocoa shell burning at factories in
Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire, Cameroon
and Brazil has reduced the gas or
fuel consumption at those sites
|
Reduce overall energy consumption
by 20% per mt of production
output in 5 years through
installation of more energy-efficient
equipment in semifinishing
plants, plant efficiency
and the logistics chain
Extension of monitoring and
evaluation of emissions, water
consumption and energy
consumption to sales offices
and transport systems
|
Reducing carbon footprint in light
of climate change
Shrinking reserves and increasing
fossil energy prices
Adverse and extreme local weather
conditions such as drought, flooding
and wind in cocoa producing
countries can temporarily disrupt
operations in affected areas
