Case study
Saving energy in Singapore
Our site at Jurong in Singapore has reduced its energy use by 13,000 MWh per year since 2002 through a comprehensive energy savings plan. This prevented a projected 40 per cent increase in energy use and saved a total of 22,269 tonnes of CO2 since 2003. The plan includes:
Involving GSK employees
Regular awareness campaigns to educate employees about energy saving behaviour. Energy reduction targets are built into personal development plans and employees who achieve their goals are recognised through excellence awards.
Improving the efficiency of equipment
Improvements to site air conditioning and ventilation systems to cool down equipment more efficiently and reduce energy use. During regular maintenance, equipment and parts are replaced with the most up to date and energy efficient options available.
Installing new technologies
Solar panels to provide renewable energy to the site.
