CLIMATE IMPACT

Reduced GHG emissions:

• Attain GHG baseline

• Establish long-term reduction targets

Sustainably re-afforest additional hectares in the Matura Sand plant

In 2022 ANSA Packaging merged the Carib Glassworks Limited and ANSA Polymer companies under one packaging services umbrella. At the centre of the strategy for this newly formed entity is to improve on the sustainability initiatives already in place and identify other areas for improvement. To do so, the company is working on establishing the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) baseline and working to increase the acreage of rehabilitated land at the Matura sand quarry.

Convert all AC units to R410 gas to reduce CFC emissions

The Real Estate sector has committed to reducing the emissions of Chlorofluorocarbons from the Group’s residential and commercial buildings.

Replace HVAC (heating, ventilation and air) to ones with controls as required for improved energy efficiency – units <5T that are at end of useful life & all new units purchased

The Real Estate Sector will be working to improve energy efficiency in the residential and commercial buildings it manages by implementing HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning) systems that have dynamic control systems. These controls are tied to a new VRF (variable refrigerant flow) compressor which idles down to maintain the set temperature throughout rather than shutting down completely as the conventional compressor is designed to do. By avoiding the multiple restarts, the systems will use less electricity.

ANSA McAL recognises that an important aspect of Climate Impact is Climate Adaptation. It will become increasingly important to assess how climate change will impact the Group’s operations and what adaptation measures are necessary to continue along this sustainability path. As the World’s economies move towards decarbonisation, we recognise the potential impact on people that this can have and the need to work towards a seamless transition in all of our operations.
