LISI GROUP - Integrated report 2023

31 2 0 2 3 I N T E G R A T E D R E P O R T STRATEGY Renewableenergies Effective photovoltaic production at 3 plants The production of renewable energies, which has been in the pipeline for several years, is a reality in the Group. In 2023, 3 Group plants – Fuenlabrada in Spain and Mellrichstadt in Germany at LISI AUTOMOTIVE and Rugby in the United Kingdom at LISI AEROSPACE put into production the installation of photovoltaic panels and managed to generate 14%, 3% and 1% of their annual consumption, respectively, i.e. 0.4% of the Group’s overall annual consumption. Two of these facilities (Mellrichstadt and Rugby) went into production in the second half of 2023 and should reach full power in 2024. In Mellrichstadt, the 4,500 m 2 of panels should ultimately produce around 700 MWh/year and thus generate savings of 170 tons of CO 2 . More modest in size, the Rugby project involves 1,270 m 2 of panels and should produce 248 MWh/ year, representing savings of 48 tons of CO 2 equivalent. “This equipment also allows employees equipped with electric cars – around twenty – to recharge their vehicles using the energy generated by the solar panels,” commented Mark Capell, General manager of the Rugby plant. In Spain, the Fuenlabrada site, a Group pioneer in renewable energies, enjoys particularly favorable sunshine. “With a surface area of 4,000 m 2 of panels which allow us to produce 1,130MWh/year (437 T.  CO 2  eq.), our site hasmanaged to reduce its carbon footprint by 390 T. CO 2  eq. per year and should ultimately improve our production costs,” commented Lorenzo Jimenez, General manager of the plant. Hydroelectric power: a first in Canada For the first time in its history, a LISI Group site is supplied with energy of 100% hydroelectric origin. The entire electrical consumption and 85% of the total energy consumption of the Dorval site at LISI AEROSPACE ( i.e. 7,145 MWh) were actually produced froma hydroelectric production site. InMay 2023, the site also signed a contract for the supply of biogas to replace natural gas. Planet Fuenlabrada, Spain plant (LISI AUTOMOTIVE).
