C
ontrol of energycostsandoptimizationofwasteand raw
materials management are factors just as important as
economic and financial indicators. It is for these reasons
that the Group has chosen to position these factors at the
heart of its business culture. In 2014, all the Group’s sites (with
theexceptionof theManoir Aerospace sites acquired that year)
were certified to ISO 14001 (international HSE standard). This
certificationdemands the implementationof specificmeasures
andactions.
Pollutionandwastemanagement
In this context, LISI very closelymonitors the direct impact of
production sites on the environment, and employs the best
technologies to reduce it. Particularly in the case of surface
treatment lines, includingatmosphericandwaterwaste,which,
if not properly controlled, can have consequences on the
environment. The proportion of waste sorted (93.9%), mainly
metals and recoverables, remains very high. Dangerous waste
sorted, which represents 30% of the total quantity of waste, is
removedviaauthorizedchannels.
Therearemany initiatives
for the treatmentofwater
Water used inmanufacturing processes is essentially for the
washingof parts and the treatment of surfaces. Each sitehas
local initiatives for reducing its consumption: An example
would be the creation of a demineralized water production
plant (withaview to recycling)atMarmande (Lot-et-Garonne),
or optimization of the effluent treatment plant at Izmir
(Turkey). All combined efforts have resulted in a reduction
in water consumption of 5.4%, based on the value added,
between 2013 and 2014. LISI AUTOMOTIVE has provided the
maincontribution to this reduction (-11%).
Energymanagement: substantialgains
The strong awareness of the production teams has also led to
stabilization in energy consumption at 0.762 MWh per €1,000
of added value. It is, however, necessary to draw a distinction
between direct consumption related to production and that
related toprocesses – suchas heat treatment –where the fixed
proportion is independent of production (rises in temperature,
etc.). So that adip inproductiondoesnot translatedirectly into
an immediatedrop inenergyconsumption.
