Sustainability Report 2016 / 2017

➲ Energy/Emissions The most important energy sources for our company are electricity and nat­ ural gas. We obtain electricity from the local supplier Salzburg AG, whose supply mix has been completely drawn from renewable sources since 2014. Approximately 30 percent of our electricity use goes into the manufacturing, filling and packaging facilities in Production. Other major users are compressed air supply and lighting. Additional use of electricity arose from the extensive rebuilding and transfer of production facilities in 2015. As reported above, the specific increase in the core indicators resulted from significant reductions in both overall amounts and the number of pieces produced. 66 “ The integral sustainability orientation of our concern makes it possible to make informed business decisions that take into account the varied interests of employees, customers and suppliers against the backdrop of our long-term strategy. ” Ingo Frank Executive Board W & M Holding GmbH Environmental Performance – Core Indicators for 2015 Core indicators of environmental performance and those derived from the input and output assessment are used to check the effectiveness of the En- vironmental Management system. Specifically, • environmental accounting of the actual state, • environmental planning and management, and • periodic checks of the continuous improvement process. Core indicators are shown in relation to the produced tonnage and the num- ber of end products. As a result of the extensive changes in the production areas (including the elimination of WC toilet deodorizer facilities and the trigger line and the transfer of shoe shine line to Hallein), produced ton­ nage decreased by 36% and the number of pieces decreased by 26 percent compared to 2014. That is reflected in the absolute values in the Input and Output Assessment 2015. Although the absolute values declined, the relative values in the core indi- cators for energy, water, wastewater and waste increased. This is attributed above all to consumption during the transfer-related production standstill and increased production of low-volume articles which resulted in a fill weight of 315 grams in 2015 (compared to 361 grams in 2014). The left-hand columns show the trend per kilogram and the right-hand the trend per piece. The different levels in the columns are therefore dependent on the produced amount and the produced number of pieces. Meteorological conditions such as the length and intensity of hot periods, etc., were taken into consideration. Environmental Statement · Hallein site
