Wood Division Deca Division

The total consumption of water at the Deca Division in 2008 fell 15% compared with 2007. As a result, the consumption of water per kilo of piece produced at the Jundiaí unit was 2.67 l/kg, or below the 2008 target of 3.65 l/kg. At the São Leopoldo unit, the result was 2.55 l/kg. This performance is directly related to the installation of hydrometers to monitor the consumption in each sector. Furthermore, a main meter was installed at the entrance to each area, which, once closed, shuts off the water supply to the location. As a result, as well as knowing the individual consumption the water can be shut off once operations are ended to guarantee there is no wastage from possible leaks. Based on the individual measurements of consumption, each area had its target reduced in 2008, which contributed to meeting the total target established at the Jundiaí vitreous china unit. Deca Hydra offers free feasibility studies for the adoption of rational water use measures. Interested parties only need to send their contact data to the site: http://www.valvulahydra.com.br. The Hydra and Deca sites also have specific areas for the campaign for the awareness of water consumption.

One of Duratex’s main initiatives last year was to become a member of the carbon credit exchange, the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX), after a process of adhesion that included an external audit and a commitment to reduce carbon emissions in relation to the first year of the survey (2000), which was achieved. The stage of making an inventory of 2007 emissions was carried out in 2008 and 2007. Although the engineering teams at the units proceeded to draw up these inventories based on the balance of mass, only after confirmation by the external consultant is the data considered valid. As such, the data presented refer to the period between 2000 and 2007. For the 2008 inventory the survey work to calculate the emission levels will be conducted by the external consultancy firm; ICF International, and the activity should be finalized in the first semester of 2009. (GRI EC2) The data presented in this Report were extended compared to 2007 to include scopes 1, 2 and 3, or, direct emissions, emissions of electricity acquired and indirect emissions, respectively. The data in the 2007 Report only refers to direct emissions. The industrial and transport activities in 2007 emitted a total of 157,322 tons equivalent of carbon dioxide (CO2), which represents a reduction of 4% compared with emissions in 2000, the first year of the survey. Emissions from the Wood Division accounted for 75% of the company’s total in 2007, and the Deca Division was responsible for 25% of all emissions. The survey data for 2008 will be collected and reported in 2009. (GRI EN16, EN17, EN20, EN29)
