Water Water consumption was stable compared with 2015 (+2%).

Energy Gas and electricity consumption was down compared with 2015. Part of the decline can be attributed to business volumes, the rest to increasing awareness among workshop staff.

Footwear The IT and general services manager ensures the proper awareness of Health, Safety and Environmental issues at the John Lobb Northampton site, while in Paris, the site’s production manager oversees these areas directly.

Water Water is primarily used for domestic purposes and for weekly tests of the sprinkler system. The manufacturing process represents a marginal part of the water consumption during the sole preparation phase. The variation observed between the two periods is not meaningful.

Energy Fluctuations in electricity (-5.6%) and gas (+1.8%) consumption are attributable chiefly to weather conditions during the year. However, the second phase of roof insulation work begun in 2015 took place in 2016. The work is scheduled to be completed in 2017. In addition, a new boiler control system was introduced at year-end to reduce the consumption of gas to heat buildings.

Water Water consumption increased further in 2016. The increase was entirely attributable to expansion work on the site and business growth.

Energy Gas and electricity consumption were down sharply. Variations are attri- butable to the shutdown of some equipment. on the thermal insulation of new workshops, and by optimising its venti- lation equipment. At Cuneo, electricity production from296 photovoltaic panels installed on the roof of the tannery totalled 66MWh, representing 9% of the site’s total electricity consumption in 2016. Electricity genera- tion is used entirely for tanning processes during theweek and is injected back into the grid on weekends. It was down slightly comparedwith 2015 following an operational incident lasting two months. Gas cogenera- tion used to simultaneously produce hot water and electricity worked throughout the year. Lastly, the Montereau and Vivoin tanneries, which underwent regulatory energy audits performed by external specialist firms in the second half of 2015, have implemented improvement plans. Textiles At ITH, a programme was rolled out after a detailed diagnostic analysis of consumption. Leading to the modification of the air conditioning system

Measures to improve energy efficiency

2.5.5

As described in the section of this report devoted to construction, energy issues relating to the sites are the subject of increased attention during their construction, renovation or maintenance. The métiers whose pro- cesses consume energy naturally also have policies designed to reduce their consumption. Tanneries The tanneries are working to improve the energy efficiency of their facili- ties. For example, theMontereau tannery has continuedwork to optimise the extraction and renewal of air in its finishing shop and on itsmachinery and equipment. The Vivoin tannery continued its development work by installing LED lighting and motion detectors throughout the site, working
