Sustainability framework
Our sustainability strategy and policies support best practices and drives encouraging change across the business. They are underlined
by our corporate strategy which aims to integrate sustainability across business, having in place robust systems and processes
and focussing on operational efficiencies and carbon abatement plans. The Safety, Health, Environment and Sustainability and
Risk Management Committees have oversight and ultimate responsibility for sustainability matters. They are regularly updated on
performance across all internally defined sustainability-related material risk matters. We have facilitated e-enablement for tracking
sustainability KPIs, the performance of which are used to review strategy on an annual basis.

Key sustainability initiatives lamps with 5ft LED lamp for indoor UK
undertaken in FY 2019-20 application TCE has detailed list of opportunities
Replaced calciner refractories and to conserve resources and efficiency
furnace chamber improvements planned with new boiler
Installed and commissioned a waste oil at Middlewich
recycling system Project sanctioned to increase electricity
Energy conservation Installed two 1.2 kW solar powered generation on the Lostock steam turbine
Mithapur high-mast lighting systems and expected to increase electricity
Replaced traditional lights with LED generation of the turbine saving the
lights and undertook VFD conversion for North America site around £70k per annum with this
HRT, HCT and slurry feed pump resulting Undertook energy efficiency projects, steam-generated electricity displacing
in total power savings of 2,423,023 kWh resulting in estimated yearly power electricity generated from natural gas
Undertook technology switch-over of savings of 6,364,156 kWh and 20% less thus reducing the carbon footprint of
CCG Electrolysers from De Nora to UHDE coal usage. These projects include: the site
which will save 500 kWh per tonne o Optimisation of boiler electrostatic Metering projects are underway across
of Caustic precipitator (ESP) the sites to better understand their
o GR2 Dryer 2 Draft Fan VFD electricity consumption and implement
Magadi o GR3 Fan Upgrades focussed efficiency projects
Replaced 160W mercury vapour flood o Baghouse on-demand purging Use of highly integrated heating system
lamp with 100W LED flood lamp for Exploring applications for solar and wind avoids cooling of the water and helps to
outdoor applications and 5ft fluorescent
opportunities reduce our energy needs
