environmental performance
Thermal
Thermal energy used in our brewery contributes significantly to our environmental
footprint. We estimate it accounts for approximately 6,400 tonnes of CO
2
per year.
Most of our thermal energy is obtained from natural gas, but around 8% comes from
renewables such as biogas derived from our wastewater treatment plant.
In FY14–FY15, we exceeded our original target for thermal energy saving from 92.00
MJ/hl down to 86.74 MJ/hl, a 9.6% savings achieved if compared against FY14. A
project to recondition our bottle washer contributed to this reduction, saving over 3
million megajoules (MJ) per year. Additionally, the retrofitting of Bottling Pasteuriser with
new PU control with cooling water contributed to further saving of 6 million MJ annually.

Water
All our water is drawn from a municipal water supply. We use just over 5.1 million
hectolitres (hl) of water annually in the manufacturing of our products.
In FY13, our water usage dropped to 4.54 hectolitres per hectolitre (hl/hl) of
product. In FY14, our specific water consumption increased due to lower
production volumes. For FY15, we achieved good specific water consumption of
3.99 hl/hl at production volume almost similar to FY13. A total of 19.2% reduction
was achieved if we compared FY15 against FY14 actual.
This means we have achieved an overall 14% reduction in water usage over the
last five years.
