In order to improve our energy efficiency, we have been gradually modernizing our machinery park for a number of years. Some of the many measures taken so far include: > replacement of over 70% of our sewing machines powered by traditional motors with modern ones, equipped with energy-saving servo motors with low-er electricity consumption (20 pcs. in 2021, 5 pcs. in 2022/2023). Servo motor machines consume approx. 20% less energy compared to clutch motors. > installation of a screw compressor with a dryer and a frequency converter – type CSDX 165 T SFC, at the Timber Production Plant in Rzepedz. The compressor is equipped with state-of-the-art technical solutions which help save energy in various ways. We achieved an approximately 5-10% reduction in the consumption of electrical energy needed to produce compressed air. > installation of two new CNC centres for machining objects made of wood, wood-based materials, plas- tics and composites in the Wood Processing Plant in Rzepedz. Thanks to innovative technological solu- Photovoltaic farm To increase the share of energy from renewable sources and thus reduce our CO 2 emissions in Scope 2, we have taken steps to build a photovoltaic farm in Jaslo. Having obtained environmental decisions, we are now in the process of obtaining a building permit. The farm’s expected power is about 7 MWh. tions, we have managed to cut down detail processing time, which has automatically translated into reduced electricity consumption and tool wear. We have intro- duced a standby mode, activated when a machine is not in use, which turns off all electrical and electronic devices that are not needed. All that has allowed for measurable energy savings of approx. 10%-15%. > expansion of the furniture flatpack packaging line with an automatic conveyor system. As a result, we were able to eliminate one forklift from use. The power consumed by a roller conveyor to perform the same work is 4-5 times lower than the power needed to charge the batteries in a forklift. > implementation of the next stage of production line expansion at the Office Furniture Factory by adding roller conveyors for assembled furniture, enabling furniture transport directly to the finished products warehouse. As a result, it was possible to reduce the consumption of electricity needed to transport products on that line by 50%. 131
