Environmental scorecard
Reported environmental aspects |
Unit | 2009–2010 | 2010–2011 | Benchmark* | 2010–2011 variance vs. benchmark | Variance vs. 2009–2010 | |
Consumption |
Energy | e kWh/ft2 | 32.44 | 32.45 | 36.5 | -11% | _ 1 |
| Water | L/ft2 | 72.3 | 76.02 | 89.0 | -15% | 5%2 | |
Emissions |
Air emissions | Kg of CO2 equivalent/employee | 7 186 | 6 185 | 7 360 | -16% | -16%3 |
| Non-hazardous waste | Diversion rate | 63.5% | 69.6% | 62.5% | 11% | 9%4 | |
- 2010–2011 energy consumption remained essentially unchanged when compared to 2009–2010. This is a steady trend and we are still below the benchmark, so this is an overall positive result.
- 2010–2011 water consumption increased slightly when compared to 2009–2010. While this is a negative trend, we are still below the benchmark, so this is an overall positive result.
- 2010–2011 air emissions decreased when compared to 2009–2010. This is a positive trend and we remain below the benchmark.
- The 2010–2011 non-hazardous waste diversion rate increased when compared to 2009–2010. This is a positive trend and we remain above the benchmark.
