Key developments in 2015
❍❍
We continued to strengthen systems and structures to
support the execution, performance measurement and
continuous improvement of initiatives identified in our
scorecard (below)
❍❍
We are establishing partnerships and social models to
manage expectations and co-design solutions. Some of
our actions in this area are summarised below.
Reducing CO

emissions
As part of understanding the environmental impact of our
products, we have conducted product lifecycle assessments
using a cradle-to-grave approach.
This assessment considers how raw materials are extracted,
how resources involved in planning or designing the product
are consumed, the materials and energy used in
manufacturing, packaging and distribution, impacts from
using the product, and waste and pollution created during
the process and at end of life.
Extraction, location and processing can contribute
significantly to carbon emissions and the overall footprint of
a product. Where possible, by lightweighting our
packaging, we are significantly reducing carbon emissions
and costs, while directly improving the lifecycle assessment
of products. The table below summarises two examples of
this initiative.

In addition to these focus areas, our manufacturing
operations conduct the legislated testing of air emissions
from boilers, ventilation areas, dust particle matter disposed,
noise, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide levels.
The primary certification process being driven across our
manufacturing operations is the stringent, global ISO 14001.
Progress against this certification has been achieved in 95%
of manufacturing South African operations. Environmental
awareness training is ongoing where necessary to close
identified gaps from first-stage audits.
