COINDU | Sustainability Report - 2024

Environmental Dimension industrial processes remained operational, including energy-intensive equipment such as thermo-bonding and perforation machines. As a result, the reduction in energy consumption was not proportional to the decrease in production. In 2024, the following initiatives were reinforced: • Electrification of the car fleet; • Implementation of an Energy Management System according to ISO 50001. Regarding the initiative “Implementation of an Energy Management System according to ISO 50001”, it is not possible to estimate a reduc- tion, but COINDU believes that an implemented management system will allow better management and knowledge of the energy profile and consequently the study and adoption of energy reduction and/ or efficiency measures. Implementation has not yet been completed, but some measures have already been taken, primarily in terms of awareness-raising and operational energy control, and it is believed that these are already having a positive effect. Regarding the electrification of the car fleet, an estimate was made based on the consumption of the replaced vehicles over the course of a year. 6 electrical vehicles were bought and 4 were exchanged/returned. To estimate the reduction in energy consumption, the fuel consumption value of the 4 replaced vehicles was converted into GJ, resulting in 7 479,04 litres of fuel = 255 GJ of estimated fuel consumption in year 2023. The estimated value of the EV’s consumption in a year, estimated based on monthly consumption available in the year 2024, is approximately 130,45 GJ, resulting in a 125 GJ annual reduction estimate. 90
