INTRODUCTION

GOVERNANCE ONE PLANET IMBERA

Governance refers to the establishment of a monitoring scheme within the organization, seeking to accomplish the following objectives:

a)Permanent monitoring of IMBERA’s Action Plan progress

b)Ensure the delivery of an Annual Progress Report of Imbera´s One Planet Action Plan

c)Ensure the continuity of the defined strategies, seeking the fulfilment of the Common International One Planet Objectives.

d)Generate effective, internal and external communication mechanisms for the implementation and effects of the defined strategies.

e)Timely identification of pending actions, barriers, opportunities or any situation that is related to the implementation of Imbera’s sustainable strategies or their communication.

One Planet Imbera Committee

The One Planet Imbera Committee is a group of employees that manage and watch the fulfilment of the defined strategies as tools to achieve the Common International Targets of the One Planet Companies Programme.

The Committee concentrates its efforst on two main areas:

1)Management of the 10 One Planet principles, where the Champions and their teams implement, measure and control the proposed strategies.

2)Internal and external communication, developing adecuate communication tools to raise awarness inside and outside the company in relation to theAction Plan implementationand results.

General activities of One Planet Imbera Committee

1)Produce an Annual Progress Report

This One Planet annual report is adocument that is issuedto BioRegional each year, where Imberaprovides information of its advancements on the implementation of the defined strategies and its progress towards thefulfilment of the CITs of the One Planet Companies programme.

2)The One Planet Imbera Committee has two annual meetings

a)Start-up meeting:

It takes place on the first two months of the year. It’s objective is to allow the committee to verify the publication in proper time and manner, of the internal and public versions of the Progress Report, as well as its delivery to BioRegional in order to continue the endorsement as part of the One Planet Companies Programme. During this meeting, the Committee also establishes the objectives that the company will pursue for each principle in thefollowing year; for example: the forecastedenergy factor for the plant, or the amount of liters of water per employee.

b)Partial Meeting:

It is organized between the sixth and the seventh month of the year; the Committee carries out a a partial review of the progress of the Action Plan, as defined at the start-up meeting.

3)Monitorthe continuity and work efficiency of the One Planet Champions. The Committee collaborates with the champions on the development of a rotation schemefor this role.

4)Seeks thecreation of a work calendar with teams of every principle where feasibility analysis, implementation strategies, and measurement and control tools of every defined Action Plan strategy are contemplated.

5)Manage the collaboration relationship between BioRegional as part of the One Planet Companies programme.

Imbera´s One Planet Action Plan

The Imbera One Planet Action Plan is a joint effort between BioRegional and Imbera; it is not meant to be a report of objectives and targets but a clear and detailed map of different options to construct sustainable operations; that is why its structure has the following characteristics:

  • Every One Planet principle is developed in general terms, presenting the Common International Target as the goal to reach.
  • Short, Medium and Long term objectives: related to CIT.
  • Strategies: They are the general actions to reach the CITIt refers to the “category” of work.
  • Tools:They are the specific actions that will be carried out, for example activities, written policies, manuals, etc.
  • Indicator (Key Performance Indicator, KPIs): It is a strategy performance indicator that shows the progress of the proposed objective.
  • Term: a period (short, medium or long) when the activity is carried out, with the maximum date of fulfilment.

EXISTING INITIATIVES

EXISTING INITIATIVES / GENERAL INFORMATION
Connection to FEMSA’s Wind Farm in 2013 / FEMSA has generated a strategy of signing long term energy purchasing contracts (20 years) through self-supplying societies s with a wind power company.The energy is generated by a Wind Park of 132 wind turbines of 3MW located at Istmo de Tehuantepec in Oaxaca, in the zones of San Dionisio del Mar and Santa María del Mar.It is projected that the wind farm will supply close to 85 % of electricity demanded by FEMSA, excluding the charging points in Baja California. / 1,654 Mwh/year will be supplied through this system to Imbera’s facilities in San Juan del Río.
Solar panels / In July 2010 Imbera installed a 56-panel solar system and one inverter. Each high efficiency panel is made of monocrystalline cells and produces 200 W/p. Every product is manufactured in Mexico (the supplier is ERDM Solar). / The system generates daily aproximately 60 kW/p
Refrigerant gas recovery machines / Recovery machines for refrigerant gases have been purchased to avoid the liberation of the gases in the laboratory area or in the destruction area of non-confirming units.
Use of natural light / Translucent panels were installed on the roof of Imbera’s production plant to increase the daylight in the facilities.

STRATEGIES

The objectives of Zero Carbon Emissions are developed around five main areas:

1)Monitoring and training of Imbera’s personnel in measuring and documenting Greenhouse Gases.

2)Refrigerant gas containment in aasembly lines, stockrooms and laboratories (as long as Imbera has the control of the coolers)

3)Decrease the use of LP Gas (canteen and forklifts)

4)Increase the plants’ energy efficiency through developing and implementing energy saving projects.

5)Encourage renewable energy supply.
