Scania Annual Report 2011

50 SCANIA’S SUSTAINABILITY WORK
Scania’s environmental work
Scania works actively to minimise both the resource consumption and the environmental impact
of its products through out their life cycle. The environmental aspects are taken into account right
from the development and investment stage to ensure that Scania can meet future requirements
with the best applicable technology, do the right things from the start and eliminate waste.
miljö – energi ENG
Energy
Scania’s environmental work is integrated into all its
operations. In the production and service networks,
environmental work is integrated into day-to-day efforts
to achieve continuous improvements through a strong
connection to the Scania Production System (SPS) and
the Scania Retail System (SRS).
Production units and service workshops are continuously
evaluated in order to find examples of best
practice that can be passed on to other parts of the
organisation and to identify areas for improvement.
Continuous improvements
Improvement efforts are based on doing the right thing
from the start and eliminating waste. Existing processes
miljö – vatten ENG
Water
are examined to identify unnecessary, resourceintensive
steps and to stimulate improved performance.
Energy efficiency improvements are a high priority.
There is continuous, systematic work with local energy
surveys and action plans. Fossil fuels account for a
steadily shrinking share of Scania’s energy use.
There have been major efforts to reduce volatile
organic compound (VOC) emissions, mainly focusing
on a transition to painting systems with little or no VOC
content. In São Paulo (Brazil), water-borne painting
is being introduced. In Meppel (the Netherlands) and
Słupsk (Poland), where solvent-borne paint is still used,
purification equipment has been installed.

Volatile organic compound (VOC)
emissions amounted to 4.0 kg per
vehicle produced, which represents
approximately the same emissions
per vehicle as last year (3.9 kg).
Carbon dioxide emissions decreased
despite higher production volume.
Total emissions fell to 0.94 tonnes per
vehicle produced, a reduction of more
than 20 percent compared to 2010.
In 2011, Scania’s goods transport-related
emissions totalled 233,000 tonnes.
Recycling continued to increase. In
2011, Scania disposed of 83,200
tonnes of waste (excluding foundry
sand), of which nearly 85 percent was
used in order to recycle materials and
recover energy. Waste sent for off-site
disposal, mainly classified as hazardous,
totalled 8,100 tonnes.
