OPERATIONAL RESOURCE EFFICIENCY
Optimising our processes
Our primary focus in this area is to operate our manufacturing facilities efficiently and reduce our reliance on fossil fuels. We’re optimising and designing our processes to use less energy and produce less waste.
Increasing energy and water efficiency, and reducing emissions
As examples of our intentionality to reduce our GHG emissions, we’re using spent coffee grounds as fuel across most of our portfolio of instant coffee factories.
In logistics we maximize the use of trucks which are full-to-capacity along with intermodal solution for transport (truck, rail, truck) reducing CO2 emissions.
We believe that, with our ongoing Research & Development, we can deliver Net Zero Factory designs in the future.
We’ve developed a water strategy that addresses water intensity, water stress, and water quality. We’re also using the Aqueduct tool, which enables us to measure, map, and mitigate water risks around the world.
We are innovating to develop
more energy efficient solutions
within our operations and moving
to more renewable energy. For
example, we’ve switched from
burning coal to using hazelnut
husks to generate heat in 2 of our
plants in Turkey.
