We give energy to gain energy
As early as 2003, AW committed to the wide ranging
measures of the ‘Flemish Covenant
Energy Benchmarking’, leading to more
energy-efficient production processes.
In 2016, AW acceded to the ‘Energy Policy
Agreement’ of the Flemish region where its
plant is located, thus sustainably anchoring
energy-efficiency as a driver of its business.
Besides continuous monitoring, AW’s energy
policy focuses on investments in energy-efficiency
measures such as heat recovery, relighting and
the optimisation of steam generation. This enabled
AW to reduce its energy consumption by 24%
between 2015 and 2020.
AW also participates in the European Emissions
Trading System. The company has already
reduced its CO2 emissions by 25% in 5 years
and will continue the process in the coming years.
