5.3 Emissions and consumption of natural resources

Performance of 2021 vs. the reference year 2019

2% decrease in electricity consumption. Despite the increase in employment, we were still partially working remotely.

47% decrease in natural gas consumption. Reason: limited use of the staff canteen. Natural gas is only used for the preparation of meals in the canteen located in the Marina 1 building.

20% increase in heat consumption. Possible influence of many factors, including weather conditions, insolation and penetration of solar energy into rooms, temperature settings inside the building.

59% drop in office paper consumption. Although more people have returned to working in buildings in the course of 2021, we have become accustomed to using paper more sparingly.

20% decrease in print paper consumption. Positive developments include fewer print runs ordered by intermediaries.

14% decrease in business travel by car (calculated in km). The result was influenced by a significant decrease in business trips recorded in Q1 and Q2 2021. From July 2021 onwards, there was a gradual increase in the number of trips and mileage.

62% decrease in business travel by train. Business travel by means of transport other than cars has been severely restricted due to the threats posed by the pandemic.

Water

Water consumption and the generation of domestic wastewater are associated with a large number of employees. We strive to optimise water consumption while maintaining appropriate levels of cleanliness, hygiene and comfort.

Since 2019, only tap water is consumed in our buildings located in Gdańsk and Sopot. The condition of the water in the taps is tested and all employees are equipped with reusable bottles. In 2021, we initiated the installation of taps with automatic sensors to save water. This effort will continue in 2022.

33% decrease in water consumption vs. 2019. The consumption remained low since 2020 due to the continuation of the rotation mode and fewer staff in the office buildings.
