TACKLING THE TRIPLE THREAT ELECTRICITY, WATER, WASTE At our Pioneer site in Singapore, the incremental effect is paying off: small changes have brought large savings in electricity and water use and substantially reduced waste water, all while production has increased. Employees came up with a range of simple ideas, such as reducing temperatures, reducing or upgrading lighting, improving water overflows and pumps, and installing solar film on windows. Starting in 2020, the site made monthly savings of around 114,131kWh of electricity – enough to light 2,000 4 to 5-room houses – and 432m³ of water compared to 2019. Year on year, production increased by 15% but electricity use dropped by 3% and water usage increased by only 9%. Together Together these measures achieved savings of CHF 1 66,000 per year. In 2021, the site also reduced waste water by 80 % . over a period of two years, with the effort, focus and enthusiasm continuing even through the COVID-19 pandemic.
