Sustainability Performance 2020
Our carbon footprint in 2020 has been externally audited and certified according to the CarbonNeutral Protocol and guided by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol/ISO-14064. Based on the Greenhouse Gas Protocol - using the market-based approach and without accounting for offsets - our carbon footprint in 2020 came in at 164,865 tons of CO 2 e and 21% lower than 2019. Covid-19 had a clear impact on business travel and employee commuting patterns and to a lesser extent on some of our pro- duction-related emissions. While the pandemic presented chal- lenges, our factories produced a similar number of blades to 2019. Our energy efficiency program recorded a reduction of 5.9% energy consumption per square meter of factory space globally. In 2020, we continued to source 100% renewable electricity at all our sites around the world. In doing so, we reduced approximately 103,000 tons of carbon emissions from electricity consumption. Waste disposal represents the second largest operational emis- sion source for LM Wind Power in 2020. Despite our efforts in waste reduction and disposing more waste to recycling, the emissions from waste disposal stayed at a similar level com- pared with 2019. At 23% of the total emissions, logistics remained as one of our major emission sources. To analyze logistics flows across GE Renewable energy businesses using a consistent approach across the GE Renewable Energy business- es, data collection and the corresponding modelling assump- tions were carried out differently than the 2019 calculation within LM Wind Power. As a result, our logistics emissions went down 38% in 2020. Improving logistics data availability and reliability is a key priority in GE Renewable Energy’s Carbon Neutral program to bridge the gap between different calcula- tion approaches.
