  1. EarthCheck @ Exotissimo Phnom Penh Assessment results 2012-2013

  2. Agenda • What is EarthCheck and why is it useful? • Results, impacts and improvement: • Energy consumption and CO2 emissions • Waste generation • Water consumption

  3. 1. What is EarthCheck? • Tool to measure the company’s performance in sustainability  monitoring, benchmarking and improvement! • Sustainability policy + 4 Indicators: • Energy consumption(includes electricity, transport) • CO2 emissions (from energy, greenhouse gases) • Water consumption (tap water) • Waste generation (quantity and quality)

  4. 2. Energy and CO2: results and impacts • Electricity consumption – CO2 Emissions from electricity purchased: Climate Change WELL DONE ! The carbon emissions decreased about 10% in one year You saved the equivalent of carbon sequestered in 110 trees Or the equivalent of 1,500 liters of gasoline

  5. 2. Energy and CO2: results and impacts • Transportation – CO2 Emissions from staff transportation: • Including: • Travels to/from office (moto, car), • Inspection trips (car, van, boat, etc.) • Management trips (car, bus, plane)

  6. Energy Consumption (2013) was 363.7 MJ / m2: 75.3% better than the Best Practice level. Greenhouse Gas Emissions (2013) was 116.6 kg CO2-e / m2: 7.4%worse than the Baseline level. 2.Benchmarking energy

  7. 2. Energy and CO2. How to improve? • Share transport or move by bicycle: it’s cheaper and healthier! • Switch off all lights and electric devices when leaving the office (also PC screen and printers!) • Use daylight: Seeing the outside is also relaxing! • Avoid overusing air conditioned. If the room is too cold, turn A/C off for a while instead of opening doors. • For the last tea/coffee of the day, boil only the amount of water you need. • Revisions and maintenance of air conditioned and electric appliances should be done periodically.

  9. 3. Waste: results and impacts • Waste generation 2013 • 7 kg/day (mostly paper, take away packaging and food leftovers). • ~165 kg/month Total year: 1918 kg = 3 x average household (630 kg/year)

  10. Ø 3. Benchmarking waste Waste Sent to Landfill (2013) was 14.1 L / m2: 32.9%better than the Best Practice level. Landfills are finite and difficult to control. Risks for health and nature.

  12. 3. Paper consumption Warning ! You used 12 trees more for printing in 2013. This is a 66.7% increase!

  13. 3. Waste: How to improve? - The 3 R • Reduce: • Print less, on both sides, reduce margins, Garamond or Calibri 11, on-screen reading/editing options. • Avoid take away styrofoam boxes, plastics bags, glasses, straws… go out to eat lunch. • For staff parties, use paper plates and cups, or hard plastic which can be cleaned up after use. • Reuse: • Use draft/spare paper. Print small docs in small paper • Recycle: • Before throwing it away; can it be re-used or donated?

  14. Meeting rooms: 2.9 3.2 3.3 2.9 4. Water: Results and impacts • Potable (tap) water consumption (2013) Maximum: July: 34,942 l (1.2 mr) Minimum: January: 22,685 l (0.8 mr) Total 2013: 349,820 liters ~ 12.3 meeting rooms

  15. Ø 4. Benchmarking water • Potable (tap) water consumption Potable Water Consumption (2013) was 14.6 kL / m2, which was 21.7% better than the Baseline level, but still 11.2% below the Best Practice Quality water is limited and not available for everyone. We can still improve!

  16. 3. Water: How to improve? • Flush the toilet only AFTER using it. • Water distributor (big bottle) and glasses in the meeting room to reduce the amount of bottles used and being thrown away half full. • Offer bottled water in glasses, so that the water that is left can be safely drank or reused. • Avoid open water storages like buckets in the office: mosquitoes grow there (dengue!). Empty the buckets every 2-3 days.

  17. Thanks for your attention! Yes, We Can!!
