CLIMATE CHANGE HIGHLIGHTS Sites, both industrial and non-industrial try equally to reduce their energy consumption. Efforts to reduce energy consumption locally continued in 2019. Typical efforts involve lighting fixtures changeover to LED appliances, HVAC improvements (heating, ventilation and air-conditioning), and shutting down of light or systems during week-ends or holidays as possible, raising setpoint temperatures in data centers or other technical rooms, selecting equipment according to energy efficiency criteria, and using window solar control screen films to improve insulation in exposed offices. Many initiatives took place at the site level in 2019 to reduce carbon emissions in addition to energy saving initiatives implemented in both Industrial and non-industrial sites: indirect energy saving initiatives continued such as replacing travel by • an array of teleconferencing, messaging, and various video calls applications (such as in London The Mill), or teleworking which benefits both people and planet, saving time and fuel wasted in commutes. Some sites also have put in place local bus commutes or are organizing smart routes for transporting workers from or to their homes when need be (India, Bangalore), or are encouraging employees to use bicycles (Paris Mikros site has a bike space, Edegem participates in a bicycle day program, offering breakfast to employees riding their bicycles on that day);
purchasing green energy or developing renewable energy on site: • a couple non-industrial sites have shifted to 100% green energy contracts (New York The Mill, and London MPC), and the Connected Home factory located in Manaus Brazil continues to produce solar energy; offsetting emissions also takes place either through mandatory • participation schemes such as in Hollywood where the site purchases CO 2 , NOx, and VOC emission credits, or through voluntary action such as at Montreal Mikros Image where the site organized a fundraiser to offset travel emissions, donating money to the Carbone Boréale scientific organization which manages reforestation in primary forests in North Quebec; other initiatives and experiences are beneficial in more than one way, as • they raise awareness and knowledge of life cycle assessment tools and carbon footprint approaches in a way that influences local selection of products or services. Many sites have opted for new choices, shifting to eco-office paper, eco-friendly hygiene products, ceramic mugs or disposable paper cups versus disposable plastic cups, replacing plastic cutlery by durable metal cutlery, replacing bottled water by chilled water fountains or faucets, (Mikros Paris, Montreal MPC).
