By 2025, BIC will use 100% renewable electricity.

79% of electricity comes from renewable sources.

BIC’s use of renewable electricity is part of a comprehensive energy approach that also encompasses energy efficiency in operations. Fifteen energy efficiency projects

[NFPS Risk 2] : risks related to climate change. [NFPS Risk 1] : risks related to plastics.

3.3.3.1

were launched in 2021. The projects included light bulb replacement with LED bulbs, process optimization and installation of new and more energy efficient equipment.

In terms of energy efficiency, the Group continues to progress. Over the last 10 years, energy consumption per ton of products has decreased by 5.9%. Slight decrease in renewable electricity due to an increase in electricity consumption from factories that have yet to employ renewable sources (Cello, Mexico, Bizerte).
