Toward Zero Carbon

GreenPlus Project Objectives
  • The aim of ISO 50001 on the Danone Wexford site is to empower line management and their teams to monitor, manage and improve energy performance at basic unit level.
Key Challenges
  • Data monitoring and reporting systems presented a challenge as the metering available on site did not satisfy the organisations requirement with regard to reporting detail and frequency.
Key Changes
  • A formalised EnMS has been implemented across the site with regular consumption reporting. Energy consumption has been reduced as a result of the implementation of the EnMS.
Results

The EnMS has been implemented successfully across the site, system accreditation took place in October 2019. A number of energy saving opportunities have been identified and solutions implemented as a result of the EnMS with annual energy savings being measured and verified.
