Our Commitment to Good Environmental Performance
Lowering Our Water Consumption
Water is fundamental to our business. Our
consumption is in the form of the raw materials used
to produce our products, and extends to the cleaning
process, packaging, production equipment and utility
installation. We have embarked on several water
saving initiatives and optimisation efforts to reduce
our dependence on this valuable commodity and we
are pleased to report that during the year under review
we reduced our water consumption by an additional
3.9% compared to the previous year.
Led by our TPM teams, we target to reduce water
consumption by 10% of the gap between actual
consumption and its best practice requirement,
following the Heineken Utilities Benchmark Model.
Recycling
Our wastewater is treated at our treatment plant to
ensure that no harmful substance is released from the
brewery. The Company currently utilises two methods
of biological treatment to treat its wastewater. This
first method is an anaerobic treatment where a
biochemical reaction takes place in the absence of
oxygen resulting in organic carbon being converted
into CO ² , CH
4
and biomass. The second method utilises
an anaerobic treatment where oxygen is associated
in biological reactions and results in organic carbon
being converted to CO ² and biomass. These processes
are fully compliant with local legislation.
