Annual Integrated Report 2019

• • To ensure energy efficiency, all new depot builds include smart energy solutions, such as solar installations, LED lighting, use of natural light and other green measures in the building design. • • Scope 2 emissions have decreased by 3%, a commendable effort when considered in light of the 12% increase in depot square meterage reported. • • Australia have installed a number of solar energy generation units, producing 719 898kWh of power in 2019. 2019 Group AUS % r UK 2 % r Europe % r EM % r Grid Electricity (kWh) 2018: 300 224 191 309 425 758 5% 3% 6% (4%) % r Scope 2 (3%) 5% (7%) (7%) (6%) Non-grid Electricity (kWh) 2018: 2 037 430 4 379 198 65% 6% 225% – • • Waste, in particular food waste, is an area that Bidfood has prioritised as a quick win for reducing our carbon footprint. Sourcing locally positioned Food Banks to donate food products before spoil date has been implemented in many of our operations. • • Bidfresh UK has achieved a “zero-to-landfill” result for 2019. Efforts to maintain this level will continue. • • Emerging Markets decreased in waste recycled mostly as a result of a single significant waste drive event completed by Angliss Asia in 2018, which was not repeated in 2019. • • Operations have not tracked waste accurately to date and there remains significant room for improvement in this difficult measurement and tracking exercise. 2019 Group AUS % r UK 2 % r Europe % r EM % r Food waste (tonnes) 2018: 904 2 707 0% 604% (22%) – Waste recycled (tonnes) 2018: 16 432 17 970 2% 35% (16%) (33%) Waste to landfill (tonnes) 2018: 17 579 18 016 (1%) 924% 20% (5%) % r Scope 3 (3%) (1%) 180% 17% (5%) Scope 2: Electricity – Non-renewable grid supplied Scope 3: Waste Water Scope 2 emissions (tCO 2 e) 160 207 2018: 165 421 3% Scope 3 emissions (tCO 2 e) 10 951 2018: 10 661 3% Water (kilolitres) 1 100 559 2018: 1 060 289 4% • • In Europe, Belgium and Italy have installed solar panels, reducing costs and easing the burden on non-renewable energy sources. • • Decreased grid supplied electricity was reported by the South African operations, driven by increased power costs and a commitment to reduce usage. 2019 Group AUS % r UK 2 % r Europe % r EM % r Municipal water ( kilolitres ) 2018: 1 054 962 1 096 862 0% 4% 3% 9% Other water ( kilolitres ) 2018: 5 327 3 697 – – – (31%) Fantastic progress has been made in sourcing renewable energy through solar installations Bidcorp is committed to reducing food loss and waste • • Reporting an increase of 4% of municipal water consumed in 2019 is a commendable result, in light of the infrastructural increases reported (increased depots, vehicles and staff members). • • Measuring and use of Other Water supplies, such as rainwater and borehole water, has been a big accolade for the South African entities, which have all put in positive and productive water gathering and reduced usage measures. • • Other divisions and entities have not been able to measure the water recycled or collected in rainwater tanks, but these initiatives are in place. Reporting on the savings to be implemented. • • Angliss China reported a 14% increase in water consumption over the year, this is due to the manufacturing and processing depots opened during the year. Manufacturing is inherently a higher water consumer. 1 2018 comparatives have been restated in many of our businesses due to improved measurement techniques and as a result of closer scrutiny to these metrics. 2 Bidfood UK carbon emissions comparative (2018) has been restated to exclude discontinued operations. The discontinued operations total carbon emissions for 2019 is 49 249 tCO 2 e (2018: 60 796 tCO 2 e). Bid Corporation Limited Annual integrated report 2019 / 61 ESG review
