Progress towards targets
Our EHS Plan for Excellence sets out a strategy to improve our performance over the ten-year period to 2010, starting from a 2001 baseline. This includes interim targets to be reached by the end of 2005.We are on track to meet seven of our ten targets. These cover some of our most important environmental issues, including energy and water consumption, ozone depleting potential, global warming potential, wastewater quality, volatile organic compound emissions and non-hazardous waste. We may not achieve the three targets on hazardous waste, recycling and ozone depletion potential of ancillary equipment by the end of 2005. A fuller explanation of our performance is provided on the relevant pages of this report. Next year we will set new targets for 2010.
Our group targets are based on improvement plans and forecasts from our sites. During the year, we asked all our sites to reconfirm their commitment to the 2005 targets they set in 2001. See more on our approach to setting targets.
This is a summary of our environmental performance per unit of sales. The graph shows the overall improvement (%) since 2001 and our 2005 targets.
