IBERSOL | 2019 Sustainability Report

ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE Cooking Oils Equally, the production of cooking oil waste continued to be closely managed and monitored, ensuring that 100% of waste produced is routed, recycled and recovered. In 2019, approximately 600 tonnes of used cooking oil were sent to biodiesel production. Consumption of Resources The Ibersol Group has implemented measures to reduce energy, gas and water consumption, thereby enabling energy efficiency solutions to be identified, namely with the upgrading and/or modernisation of already installed technical systems. > Lighting The Ibersol Group installs LED lighting in its new stores and has re- placed conventional bulbs with led lighting in existing stores. LED lighting helps ensure energy efficiency in lighting while maintaining the same brightness levels with equipment that uses less energy. LED lighting is currently the most efficient technology and has a longer lifespan. This type of lighting does not generate as much heat in the space. Restaurants were painted with brighter colours on the walls and ceilings to make better use of natural light and thus reduce artificial lighting. As a good practice to reduce consumption, presence/mo- tion sensors were installed in corridors, changing rooms and bath- rooms so that lights switch on and off automatically. 44
