OVER THE LAST YEAR WE HAVE DEVELOPED OUR ENERGY MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES, INNOVATED IN OUR STORES AND PLANNED FOR THE FUTURE. OUR DEDICATED ENERGY MANAGER WORKS ALONGSIDE THE FACILITIES DEPARTMENT TO MONITOR AND REVIEW ENERGY USAGE ACROSS ALL LOCATIONS. The initiatives detailed below apply to all locations (stores, distribution centres, offices) unless otherwise specified: RG MA EM Y NA • ISO 50001 Certified Energy Management System (EnMS) In 2018, we recertified our EnMS to ISO 50001 across all our operations; stores, distribution centres and head office. The certification ensures our EnMS meets globally recognised best practice which helps us continually improve the energy performance of our buildings, optimise their use and reduce their operating costs. Our EnMS provides us with a comprehensive approach to smart energy use, with the aim of continually reducing energy consumption. • 100% Green Electricity Since March 2018, Lidl Ireland and Northern Ireland converted to using only renewable electricity, reducing our carbon footprint significantly. • LED Lighting In 2018, we retrofitted lighting in 104 stores and two distribution centres to LED lighting which cut our energy consumption by 63.4% in this area. • Solar Energy is Our Way Forward In 2018, we committed to adding solar panels to all suitable new stores and major refurbishment projects. Three stores currently have solar panels installed and we are scheduled to have 11 by the end of 2019. • Quick, Clean and Green In 2018, we committed to adding e-car fast-charging docks to all suitable new stores. We currently have 22 stores with free customer chargers across Ireland and Northern Ireland • Energy in Real Time In 2018, Lidl trialled a new system with the Electricity Supply Board (ESB) which allowed us to identify areas where energy could be getting lost in real time. Live Energy Management systems will now be rolled out across all stores in 2019. • Refrigerant We are continuously changing to refrigerants with lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) in refrigeration units used to cool products in our stores and warehouses. 100% renewable electricity across all operations Resources and Agriculture Three stores with solar panels installed and 11 scheduled for completion by 2019 Supply Chain and Processing 22 stores with free customer chargers Operations and Processes LED lighting in 104 stores and two distribution centres Customer and Society Agricultural Inputs Cultivation & Harvesting Animal Keeping Production Processing Transportation Logistics Centre Transportation Stores and Services Purchase Usage Disposal G E
