switching, when possible, our factories to green electricity. The same exercise was also conducted for our main European offices. In 2021, two factories (Spain and Hungary) and three offices (two in Belgium and one in The Netherlands) will be supplied with green electricity. Schréder’s energy consumption (electricity, natural gas, heating fuel) in 2020 was 21,905MWh with 39% of our electricity coming from green sources.

The GHG emissions coming from our infrastructure decreased by 47% in 2020
Green electricity
compared to 2018. This significant decrease is mainly due to the reduction of our energy and electricity GHG impact. Indeed, we managed to decrease our consumption but also reinforce the proportion of green energy in our total energy mix. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we also greatly reduced our consumption of office materials. Finally, as employees could take their IT equipment home to work remotely, our office energy consumption also decreased compared to previous years.
7.2 - By 2030, increase substantially the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix. 7.3 - By 2030, double the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency.
