EN6 Initiatives to provide energyefficient or renewable energybased products and services, and reductions in energy requirements as a result of these initiatives We recognise the impacts of our products and ensure that environmental sustainability is considered throughout the Lifecycle of the product from design to development, from manufacture to product upgrade. This is key for the company, as product lifecycles can last as long as 40 years, so we need to manage environmental impacts as they change over time. Environmental considerations include identifying alternative materials for products, monitoring hazardous chemicals, reducing waste and decreasing fuel consumption. Examples of product developments that have supported both our customers and the environment include fuel cell technology to reduce fuel consumption, technology to address the impact wind turbines have on radar and development of a diagnostic system to support wave energy. For more information on our approach to environmental sustainability see our CR website. EN7 Initiatives to reduce indirect energy consumption and reductions achieved We are a large and diverse company where lots of activity takes place to reduce our environmental impact. In each individual business this could be from primarily the investment of time (e.g. energy awareness campaigns), to large capital investments (e.g. a Combined Heat and Power plant at Samlesbury in the UK).
