ENERGY MANAGEMENT 

Long Term Target: In 2032 reduce 15% of non-renewable energy per revenue from base year (2021)

As a consequence of continued economic growth and development, energy demands continue to grow, resulting in the continued and increase emissions of environmental damaging greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), contributing to climate change and a series of devastating environmental and social consequences to the planet, impacting operations through increase operating expenses, as natural resources are impacted from environmental impacts. For this reason, effective energy management is required to appropriately manage operational energy generation and consumption, to minimize negative environmental and social impacts. In addition, effective energy management also safeguards BJC's operations against potential environmental violations, allowing BJC to continue being ‘Your Trusted Partner for a Sustainable Better Living’.

BJC recognizes the importance of energy management which directly affects the cost of the company and the impact to environment. Therefore, BJC has included energy management in the group-wide environmental policy with a focus on energy efficiency and  the use of clean and renewable energy. Each business unit has set a policy and procedure to manage and conserve energy in accordance with their business environment. For example, retail business groups have set up an energy conservation policy and communicate it to every store to follow, aiming to achieve energy efficiency and maximum benefit. To enforce this, 

Moreover, energy management has also been integrated into relevant executive compensation, which is integrated into their respective remunerations compensation metrics. the executives is acocuntable for reducing non-renewable energy per revenue from base year by 15% by 2032 which has a clear indication that the performance on the provided material issues.   

Moreover, BJC also expects our suppliers to have proper energy management. Thus, BJC has included energy management as a part of Supplier Code of Conduct and comunicate it to suppliers. Energy management is also one of the most important topics in BJC's supplier risk assessments.
