Energy & Sustainability
June 19, 2008
Definition of Sustainability
Energy Conservation as part of Sustainability
Defining Sustainability
“Sustainable development is a very simple idea. It is
about ensuring a better quality of life for everyone, now and for generations
to come.”
Department of the Environment,
Transport and the Regions,
London, UK. ‘98
World Business Council for Sustainable Development, and others have similar
definitions
Synergy between:•Economic Growth•Social Responsibility•Environmental Protection Energy Conservation supports all three
Sustainability
History of Sustainability at P&GP&G pioneered environmental reporting (1970’s)
Environmental Quality Policy; EQ Reporting (1992)
One of the first companies to form a “corporate sustainability dept” and publish a sustainability report (1999)
External recognition for our work on sustainability:
• For the seventh consecutive year P&G has been ranked as sector leader in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index.
• Have been on the FTSE4Good ever since the index was devised
• Fortune Magazine ranked P&G as the #1 among household and personal product companies
Renewed 2012 Sustainability goals:
Environmental profile of products
Environmental profile of operations
Improve lives through social responsibility
Engage employees in everyday Sustainability
Work with external stakeholders
Environmental profile of operations goal for 2012:
“Deliver an additional 10% reduction (per unit of production) in CO2 emissions, energy consumption, water consumption, and disposed waste from P&G plants, leading to a total reduction over the decade of at least 40%”
Energy Conservation examples:
-Heat recovery in plant water effluent (2002)-Energy efficient designs in new processes-Applying industry best practices (ongoing)
Energy auditsLightingMotorsVFD’sDrying optimizationCompressed air etc.
Wisconsin operations example:
-New Papermachine start up in 2007-Changed design to maximize energy efficiency-Saves over 20,000 metric tons/yr of CO2-19% more energy efficient than next most recent similar machine-Received Governor’s Award for Innovation in Pulp & Paper industry-New standard for our next Papermachine, and rebuilds
Lessons learned…..
-Excellent synergies in being energy efficient and eco-efficient
-The power of committed energy teams
-A supportive regulatory climate helps
-Challenges continue
