CO₂

We have shown a consistent reduction in kilogrammes of CO₂ produced per tonne of production output in the period 2003-2005. From 2003 to the first half of 2005, the equivalent energy consumed per tonne of production output (excluding transport) reduced from 10.1 to 8.3 Kgs of CO₂ per tonne – an 18% reduction in energy consumption.

The reduction in CO₂ achieved across the Group’s manufacturing operations is equivalent to the CO₂ consumption of almost 14,000 trees. The reduction in CO₂ achieved across the Group’s logistics operations is equivalent to the CO₂ consumption of almost 3,000 fully matured trees.

When combined, the total effect of reducing CO₂ emissions by the Marshalls Group is the same as that which would be achieved by planting 17,000 trees.
