Water In the Leather and Saddlery division, the water consumed has no indus- trial use. It corresponds to sanitary use, to the fire-extinguishing network and to watering landscaped areas. At Pyramide (Pantin), water is also used to supply the back-up air-conditioners. The division’s water consumption totalled 24,590 m 3 in 2016, a reduc- tion of 12% compared with 2015. This reduction is attributable to the repair of a major water leak at Manufacture de Haute Maroquinerie and more robustmonitoring of other production units to ensure the early iden- tification of suspicious consumption so as to address leakage.

Other production units stabilised or slightly reduced their electricity consumption year on year. These results demonstrate the control of on-site equipment and the attention given to the energy aspect when production equipment is replaced.

Gas Gas is used only to heat sites. Gas consumption totalled 7,533 MWh in 2016, an increase of 8% with respect to 2015. As a proportion of revenue, the consumption of gas was stable compared with 2015. It shouldbenoted that theNontronproduction site, whichutilises amixed heating system (wood and gas), was not able to start the wood boiler for technical reasons. Generally speaking, the sites seek to control their gas consumptionwhile ensuring that artisans can work in comfort on the premises throughout the year.

Pyramide in Pantin represents 35% of the division’s annual water consumption because it houses the central services, annual events and a corporate restaurant. Electricity Electricity is the main power source for tools in the production units, as well as equipment for buildings. Electricity consumption amounted to 14,317 MWh in 2016, an increase of 2.4% compared with 2015. The variation in 2016 is attributable to the start of operations in the Saint- Junien relay workshop and the Héricourt production unit, as well as an increase in consumption on the sites in Pantin.
