GRI 103-1 Energy policies and commitments

How our policies and commitments support energy reduction, efficiency and renewable transition
  Energy savings Energy efficiency Transition to renewable energy sources
Internal policies and guidelines Bracell has policies and procedures in place that support efficient energy management, including continuous monitoring, standardized procedures to prevent waste, and preventive and predictive maintenance practices. Energy performance is considered in the technical evaluation of new projects. Energy efficiency is treated as an operational lever. Energy-related practices include optimizing energy-intensive processes (evaporation, drying, boilers and lime kiln) and pursuing efficient technologies. Bracell maintains a predominantly renewable energy mix, largely based on biomass and black liquor. We use cogeneration systems to meet our steam and electricity needs, reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
Public commitments or targets The Bracell 2030 roadmap sets a target to reduce GHG emission intensity by 75% by 2030, by pursuing reductions in energy consumption. Energy consumption and energy intensity indicators are disclosed annually in our Sustainability Report. Bracell publicly communicates that it maintains a predominantly renewable energy mix, supported by the use of biomass.
