Carbon footprint

•Include all sources of CO2 fromnatural resources extraction to endof life stage of the products•Based on material & energy flowanalysis•Supported by LCA of products,materials, energy•Includes scopes 1, 2 & 3.

CO2 emissions CO2 avoided

•Many glass products have a positive

impact on the CO2 emission during

their use because they contribute to

energy saving

•Insulating & solar control glass units

•Solar applications

•Automotive

AGEU Concept: take into account savings due to the use of products: compare CO2 emitted by all AGEU activities to CO2reduction achieved by AGEU products during their lifetime

What makes your products « sustainable »?

How do our customers know for sure?

14

• Reduce virgin material (raw material)• Water consumption• Improve energy efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions • Reduce Air emissions (PM, SOx , NOx , etc.)• Waste production• Use of green electricity:

– CHP for electricity & steam production– Photovoltaic projects– Electricity production from waste heat

• Improve supply chain for both raw materials and product– Reduce road transport and promote train and ship

transportation

Clean manufacturing sustainable products

15

16

• reduce the overall impact of the built environment on human health and the natural environment by:• Efficiently using energy, water, and other resources;• Protecting occupant health and improving employee

productivity;• Reducing waste , pollution and environmental degradation.

Objective:

Principle: • The certification compliance level is typically based

on the number of credits awarded on different criteria .
