Sustainability Report 2012 - Generali Versicherung AG

DIRECT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTThe data published in this Report refer to the companies included in the EMS, enabling a comparison to be madewith the Group’s environmental objectives and targets. For certain countries, the 2011 data may differ from the datapublished in the previous Sustainability Report. This is because the scope of the reporting activities was larger thanthe previous year and also because the process of collecting data and information was fine-tuned. For these reasons,the 2011 data were recalculated so they are consistent with those of 2012.As regards the environmental aspects for which the Group has set itself goals, the variations on a like-for-like basisagainst the 2009 data are also reported.EnergyEnergy consumption (GJ)350300250200150100500-8.5%206.055188.6422.5%70.024 71.7442.1%123.199 125.800-1.6%304.260 299.347-5.9%41.442 39.003ITALY AUSTRIA FRANCE GERMANY SPAIN2011 2012TOTAL 841,813 815,590 CHANGE 2012/2011 -3.1%-6%96.833 91.054SWITZERLANDPer capita consumption (GJ)50403020-16.3%3.6%2723 22 23-3.5%8.9%2729 30 29-6.5%22 21-3.7%43 42100ITALY AUSTRIA FRANCE GERMANY SPAIN SWITZERLAND2011 2012TOTAL 28 27 CHANGE 2012/2011 -4.9%The 3.1% reduction in energy consumption, which all in all came to over 815,000 Gigajoules (GJ), was mainly a result of good propertymanagement, the constant monitoring and maintenance of systems, and the introduction of new technologies. Per capita energyconsumption, calculated as the ratio of overall consumption to the total number of employees that work at sites monitored under theEMS, showed a 4.9% decrease, which was mainly due to the optimisation of working environments.Distribution of energy consumption12.9■ energy fromfossil fuels%64.8■ electricityAt the current time, no company included in the Systemproduces its own energy, which is therefore purchased in itsentirety from suppliers or directly from producers.
