24 Since 2020, we have invested in hydropower certificates, which guarantee that the electricity we consume in our production facilities and in our oces is sustainably produced. The steam we use in our production processes in Götene is produced in an external heating plant that is fueled by wood chips. During the short periods when the heating plant needs to be maintained, the steam is produced with fossil fuel. We have compensated for the emissions caused by this. All the energy we need in Götene and Korsnäs for the production of baby food and gluten-free crisp bread is consequently from 100 % renewable sources. Energy-saving measures Even with sustainable energy sources, it is still important for us to invest in energy saving measures. The largest energy consumption within Semper can be derived from our two production facilities, of which the facility in Götene is the most energy-demanding. We see that through a combination of good maintenance and investment in new technology we will be able to save energy in the factory. Technology is constantly developing, which means that there are opportunities to optimise the use of resources even in a modern production facility like Semper Götene. An increased focus on measuring energy consumption in dierent parts of the factory also helps us identify potential for improvement. As a result of the pandemic and subsequent eects on the economy, we have seen a fluctuation in our production volumes, which has aected our ability to produce as eciently as possible. Due to shorter runs, there is relatively much start-up and shutdown time, this is the reason why we see an increase in energy consumption per ton in both our plants. Every kWh counts We count every kilowatt-hour (kWh), so in addition to a focus on the big processes, we believe that there is value in the small things as well. For example, the importance of energy saving is included as part of the introductory training for our new employees. Furthermore, in order to limit energy consumption, we use LED lights and light sensors as well as digitised salary specifications and contract signatures. EnergY Our choice of energy sources and our energy consumption are important issues that we address in our sustainability strategy. THE YEAR IN NUMBERS The numbers below refer to the energy consumption within production. Korsnäs production plant Energy sources at Götene (2022): 23 % electricity from hydropower, 77 % steam from heating plant. 1.76 1.78 Energy (MWh)/produced tonne: 2020 2021 2.95 2.97 Energy (MWh)/produced tonne:* 2020 2021 Semper’s energy sources are 100% renewable. Energy sources at Korsnäs (2022): 100 % electricity from hydropower. Götene production plant Semper Götene is certified according to ISO 14001 and 50001. 1.85 2022 3.46 2022
