Energy Saving Programme
An Energy Saving Programme (ESP) is currently in operation at GAB. The purpose of this
programme is to ensure there is a comprehensive and systematic approach to reducing utilities
consumption. It requires us to measure, control, optimise and monitor all the natural resources
related processes in-order to achieve the desired target against the brewery’s UBM (Utility
Benchmark Module) target. All these are to support the TPM (Total Productive Management)
concept which was implemented by the Company several years ago.
Another important agenda for the Company is the continued focus on reduction of electricity,
thermal energy and water consumption to improve on our environmental impact, based on
Heineken’s Utilities Benchmark Models. According to our records, we were able to reduce our
electricity consumption against our target. However, we were not able to do the same for thermal
energy and water due to a lower production volume last financial year hence the economies of
scale that come into play.
