This will be measured going forward to demonstrate these ef ciencies. Scope 1 emissions (tCO 2 e) (excl refrigerants and aircon gases) 22 102 2018: 21 756 2% Increased efforts are reported across all operations in the division to recycle waste. Reporting lower tonnes waste to land ll, and signi cantly reducing the greenhouse gas emissions associated. Waste efforts have been noted in plastics, cardboard, paper and common mixed waste. Management are committed to maintaining these efforts and reducing the impact on the environment even further. With operations in Africa, Middle East, Asia and South America, managing sustainability in our emerging markets is as diverse as the regions in which we operate. From the sustainable sourcing of product to the social projects we invest in, each region faces unique challenges.

We are also harvesting the water from the refrigeration pods to provide a continuous backup water supply for the business. The water is ltered before it is used in the supply of the ablutions, truck wash bay and irrigation systems. CFG was able to locate a stable source of borehole water in the western Cape, but the water quality was deemed as poor with high dissolved solids due to salts. CFG will be erecting a pilot treatment plant on its premises to establish practical yield and quality water from the borehole. CFG has 4x24kℓ stainless steel tanks that have been converted to rainwater harvesting tanks for non-potable uses. Irmãos Avelino truck, Brazil. CFG water tanks, South Africa. CFG has embarked on several projects to facilitate ef cient use of electricity. A steam condensate return upgrade device was installed in late 2018 to decrease the volume of water and paraf n fuel used to generate steam to feed into the Wet, Dry and COE facilities, saving on electricity costs at CFG. A boiler heat recovery system was initiated to recover energy lost through the boiler stack as hot air, to reduce paraf n usage, and to improve CFG’s overall carbon footprint. With escalating costs of electricity in South Africa, cost saving initiatives were implemented across all businesses using solar panels. Grid tied solar PV panels were installed to decrease plant-wide electricity bill and to reduce the carbon footprint. 52 / Bid Corporation Limited Annual integrated report 2019
