The measure of energy is defined as all energy consumed at
GSK facilities during the year in the form of electricity
and steam imported and fuels burned in fixed combustion equipment
on site, including emergency generators. Fuels used for onsite
transport have not been included but fuels used to generate
steam and electricity on site have been included.
The 2001 baseline originally reported for energy consumption
was 21.4 million gigajoules. This included electricity and
steam imported and fuels burned in fixed combustion equipment
as well as onsite transport fuels and energy generated on
site. The revised 2001 baseline, 20.7 million gigajoules,
does not include fuels used for onsite transport and does
not double count fuels used onsite to generate electricity
and steam. In 2002, GSK consumed 20.1 million gigajoules of
energy. Compared to 20.7 million gigajoules in 2001, this
is a decrease of 2.9%. Nearly 60% of energy consumed is through
the burning of fuel to support manufacturing processes and
heating buildings and other uses not related to transportation.
Forty percent (40%) of energy consumed is electricity.
A target has been set to reduce energy consumption from site
activities by 8% on a per unit sales basis by the end of 2005.
