Sustainability performance 1998 – 2007
Environmental indicators per metric ton of output, occupational accidents per million hours worked
In the ten years from 1998 until 2007 alone, we have reduced occupational accidents by 86 percent, water consumption by 48 percent, energy consumption by 40 percent and waste generation by 37 percent. Thanks to the savings in energy consumption, we have also been able to reduce the associated carbon dioxide emissions by 33 percent.
On the basis of the progress achieved up to 2007, we have defined Company-wide targets for the next five years, i.e. until 2012:
