55 Cargill 2020 Annual Report Energy Within the strategy to fight climate change, we have established the objective of reducing emissions arising from technology, expand the use of renewable energy and increase energy efficiency at all our operations. Our facilities have an energy plan in which initiatives and proj- ects are updated annually. For this, the factories hold PISW (Project Identification & Selection Workshop) sessions to iden- tify energy efficiency opportunities with the purpose of reduc- ing steam, electricity and fuel consumption. One project that stood out in 2020 was obtaining the Leed cer- tification for the Freight Transshipment Stations (ETC - Estação de Transbordo de Carga) of Miritituba/PA, the first terminal to obtain it in Latin America. The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (Leed) is an initiative to give incentive to sustainable practices in the construction area. This facility was also evaluated on sustainability issues including location and transportation, space, water use efficiency, materials and resources, innovation and processes. Expand the use of renewable energy and increase the energy efficiency at our operations are some of the objectives of our strategy to fight climate change Waste GRI 306-2, 306-4 Globally, Cargill adopts the same requirements, procedures and guidelines for waste management, as well as comply with local legislation. Our standards are contained in the company's Environmental Waste Program, mandatory for all our facilities. With these standards we want to demonstrate that environmentally correct disposal is part of the produc- tive efficiency we seek. One of the procedures determines to minimize waste gen- eration in productive processes. To meet this objective, between 2019 and 2020, we developed a new partnership in Brazil to deal with soy waste. Previously sent to compost- ing, this waste has gained a more valuable destination as biomass in cement furnaces. Four of our grain processing plants have adopted this practice. Hazardous waste transportation and destination receives a specific approach in this program. We follow a prior qual- ification process of service providers prior to contracting. This qualification consists of document analysis, on prem- ise visits, done by the EHS team, and diligence conducted by the Procurement team. After contracting, the program establishes periodic on-site audits and revision of service provider documentation. In Brazil, besides this program, we also follow the provisions of the National Policy on Solid Waste. See the data on waste treatment in the Attachments, page 75. Cooking oil and circular economy In line with Cargill's purpose of feeding the world in a safe, responsible and sustainable manner, we analyzed our impacts during all phases of the productive process and launched in 2011 a program to offer an alternative for con- sumers to correctly dispose of frying oil waste. In our program Ação Renove o Meio Ambiente (Renew the Environment Action), we offer consumers a practical and sus- tainable way of disposing of spent frying oil in an environmen- tally-friendly fashion, by transforming it into raw material for the production of new products such as biodiesel. With this, Cargill articulated a complete chain so that this material would not be disposed of incorrectly, establishing partnerships, providing voluntary delivery points, stimulating growth and improving companies that collect spent vegetable oil. Year after year, the program breaks oil collection records, result of the measures we have adopted: Partnership articulation - The need to create oil receiv- ing outlets motivated Cargill to seek support within its own value chain. The articulation with retail chains, restaurant chains, city halls, NGOs shopping malls, public institutions, companies and startups contributed to expand the program outreach and, therefore, engaged stakeholders in this envi- ronmental preservation movement. Reverse logistics expansion - This Cargill program extended its Liza line recycling process to packaging. It reduced the use of plastic in bottles and replaced cardboard with green plastic. With these innovations, the Liza packag- ing has become 100% recyclable.
