Development of CO2 emissions 2011 2012 Gas & Light CLIMATE Ever since 2012, when Royal Lemkes built the largest solar panel roof in the Netherlands, climate has been an area where we have made progress year on year. By introducing LED lighting and heat pumps, switching to green electricity, taking energy-saving measures and raising awareness, we have reduced our CO2 emissions by more than 65% compared to 2011 (internal figure). During 2017, in association with Benefits of Nature, we calculated our CO2 footprint for 2015 and 2016. The results will inform our plans to further reduce our footprint. It was a special occasion in 2017 when we installed a sea container with batteries to store our surplus solar energy. As icing on the cake, employees can now take out a contract to receive energy in their homes from our rooftop supply. As growers and carriers are responsible for the biggest CO2 impact in our business chain, sustainability was an important theme at our growers and carriers’ meetings in 2017. We are currently in talks with both parties and intend to analyse and identify the CO2 impact of various plants across the entire chain in 2018. The supply logistics project mentioned previously was very successful in reducing CO2 emissions in the chain. This project has led to a substantial achievement: we were able to cancel 600 trips, which equates to 40,000 road kilometres. 2013 2014 2015 Business vehicle fleet 2016 2017 Business travel Watch the film of the battery container via youtu.be/lWgp1bKp7gc or scan this QR code.
