Cascades’ very own energy performance champions!

—

As a specialist in the production of environmentally responsible products, Cascades’ commitment to the green movement wouldn’t be complete if its own production methods weren’t in line with that ecological vision. With a hundred or so units, our energy consumption is considerable. However, we don’t take that consumption lightly. Each plant is responsible for constantly improving energy efficiency.

.

The key: team work!

The upside of energy consumption is that there is a variety of methods and alternatives out there that can be used to increase efficiency. And our Cascaders find them. To acknowledge their efforts, Cascades presents a yearly award to the plants with the best energy performance.

The selection process does not only focus on the reduction of energy in terms of GJ/tonne. Why? A reduction could be the result of a slowdown in production, and our goal is to reward the efforts as well as the results.

Now, let’s get to the point: We are proud to present our 2011 winners!
