10 / GRUNDFOS SUSTAINABILITY PROGRESS REPORT 2015 Environmental At Grundfos, we want to minimise our environmental footprint. This commitment includes specific focus on our energy and carbon footprint, water footprint, chemical management, as well as the responsible handling of waste. One initiative towards this commitment is working with implementing environmental management systems in our companies. Our target is that all production companies must have the environmental management standard ISO14001. In 2015, 92% of our production companies were certified, and we will strive towards reaching 100% by the end of 2016. Furthermore, 2 of our local companies are ISO50001 certified. (Hungary) was the winner of the award. The initiative focuses on Rain/Grey Water System Extension, which generates significant water savings. Energy and CO2 footprint It is our ambition never to emit more CO2 than we did in 2008 in absolute numbers. In 2015, we reduced our CO2 emissions with 7% compared to 2014; meaning a 25% reduction compared to 2008 levels. Grundfos reduces its CO2 emissions mainly through the reduction of energy consumption. During 2015, several energy-reduction initiatives have been implemented across our facilities. Investments include lighting schemes at all our largest production facilities as well as an extension of our symbiotic partnership with Bjerringbro district heating at our headquarters and largest production facility. In 2015 we also continued our strategic initiative to replace inefficient motors and drives with high-efficient Grundfos motors. Throughout 2015 we reduced our Future Now Award Since 2009, each year Group Management at Grundfos is awarding environmental initiatives with the Future Now Award. The Future Now Award (FNA) is granted to projects, which have proven to reduce environmental footprint though an innovative approach and with great impact. Initiatives within reduction of energy and CO2, water and chemicals, were in the competition for the 2015 Award.
