Eco-effectiveness As part of our Cradle to Cradle速 strategy, we want to go a step further with Eco-effectiveness. As mentioned earlier, this approach is all about creating products that are designed to have a positive impact on the environment. These are some of the steps we have already taken: Renewable electricity

Renewable electricity co2 emissions

44% CO2 reduction between 2007-2013 for the total company.

The amount of renewable electricity used at Desso accounted for 26% in 2013, up from 7% in 2008 and from zero in 2007.

Self-generated energy: 25,000m2 roof covered by solar cells generating 3.674 GJ Solar energy in 2013.

100% biological purification of our process water in Dendermonde.

Additional ozone treatment of the process water resulted in a 68 million litre saving on fresh water in 2013.
