EN1

Materials used by weight or volume.

British American Tobacco's factories are located in Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, UK, Poland and Hungary. The factory in Cyprus did not report any data and closed down in 2006. Material usage went down because of the closure of factories.

Direct materials: cigarette paper, wrapping, packaging, filters, glues, inks, plug wraps
Indirect materials: parts, cleaning materials etc.

*Other Tobacco Products (e.g. roll your own) are measured separately

 EN2

Percentage of materials used that are recycled input materials.

In 2006, none of the materials used were reported as recycled input materials.

 EN3

Direct energy consumption by primary energy source. (All energy sources used by the reporting organisation for its own operations as well as for the production and delivery of energy products (e.g. electricity or heat) to other organisations)

 EN4

Indirect energy consumption by primary source (all energy used to produce and deliver energy products purchased, e.g. electricity or heat).

 EN5

Energy saved due to conservation and efficiency improvements.

We do not collate this data at the EU level, we therefore provide global information.

Energy conservation and efficiency improvements have been reported globally by 11 of our companies (two European ones: Germany & UK). These activities fall within three broad categories: installation and upgrading of plant and equipment that has higher energy efficiency; training, education, awareness and conservation campaigns; changes in transport arrangements or vehicle usage. For these 11 reporting companies, the direct energy use per million cigarette equivalent has been reduced from 8.85 GJ/million cigarette equivalent in 2005 to 8.36 GJ/million cigarette equivalent in 2006, a reduction of 5.5 per cent.

 EN6

Initiatives to provide energy-efficient or renewable energy based products and services, and reductions in energy requirements as a result of these initiatives.

The nature of our products makes it unlikely that initiatives to provide energy-efficient or renewable energy-based products or services would be feasible. However, initiatives to reduce the environmental impacts of our products are reported in EN26.

 EN7

Initiatives to reduce indirect energy consumption and reductions achieved.

We do not collate this data at the EU level, we therefore provide global information.

Globally Indirect energy consumption reductions were achieved largely as a result of manufacturing rationalization activities. During 2006, due to rationalisation of our manufacturing footprint, a reduction in indirect energy consumption of approximately 597000 GJ has been estimated. This represents a 7 per cent reduction in indirect energy consumption, compared to 2005.

 EN8

Total water withdrawal by source.

(If zero, in small TMD organisations (Trade, Marketing & Distribution organisations) with irrelevant water consumption some reporting data are missing).

 EN9

Water sources significantly affected by withdrawal of water.

While we monitor water scarcity in our operating locations, we do not measure whether the water sources are significantly affected by our operations.

 EN10

Percentage and total volume of water recycled and reused.

We only measure the total volume of water reused or recycled in m³ and result is 0.

 EN11

Location and size of land owned, leased, managed in, or adjacent to, protected areas and areas of high biodiversity value outside protected areas.

In the EU no land is owned or leased for conservation purposes.

A Risk Assessment methodology has been established by the British American Tobacco Biodiversity Partnership* and trialled in Indonesia. This tool, which assists our companies to establish the impacts of operations on biodiversity and ecosystem services, identifies the amount of land owned, leased, or managed in or adjacent to protected areas and areas of high biodiversity value. No direct impacts of our activities or operations on protected areas were identified during the assessment. Agriculture in the tobacco growing areas is adversely affected by ongoing forest degradation in and around the protected areas. Our activities and operations were not seen to contribute to degradation of protected areas. The conversion of tobacco curing from kerosene to coal fuel, which allows for easier use of wood as a curing fuel, was identified as a potential contributor to forest degradation. British American Tobacco Indonesia is drawing up action plans based on the risk assessment findings.

See EN15 for more information about the Risk Assessment tool.

*The British American Tobacco Biodiversity Partnerships partners four conservation NGOs: Earthwatch Europe, Fauna & Flora International, the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew and the Tropical Biology Association.

 EN12

Description of significant impacts of activities, products, and services on biodiversity in protected areas and areas of high biodiversity value outside protected areas.

We do not collate this data at the EU level, we therefore provide global information.

We recognise that our business depends on biodiversity for continued access to resources such as water, healthy soils and timber and also that tobacco growing and manufacturing can impact on biodiversity. We are therefore working to understand and minimise these impacts. Through the British American Tobacco Biodiversity Partnership, tools to better manage impacts on biodiversity are being developed. The Biodiversity Statement, mandatory for all our companies, sets out our commitments for managing biodiversity. See EN14 for more information about the Biodiversity Statement.

The development of the Risk and Opportunity Assessment tool, detailed in EN11, provides additional support to our companies in identifying impacts of activities on the surrounding area.

We also have improved our supplier evaluation and improvement tools to include considerations on biodiversity and environmental management.

 EN13

Habitats protected or restored.

We do not collate this data at the EU level, we therefore provide global information.

On a global level, as outlined in EN15, we are undertaking a phased process to evaluate our biodiversity impacts and risks more fully. As this process is completed, we will be undertaking programmes to protect and restore habitats as appropriate. Additionally, our SRTP (Social Responsibility in Tobacco Products) programme for leaf suppliers includes a range of measures aimed at protecting habitats. The programme covers good agricultural practices for improving soil and water conservation, appropriate use of agrochemicals and environmental, occupational health and safety. It also promotes afforestation initiatives for the farmers who require wood for tobacco curing to obtain it from sustainable sources.

The British American Tobacco Biodiversity Partnership also supports projects focused primarily on the restoration or protection of habitats. The current projects do not take place in the EU. Two examples are Brazil and Chile.

 EN14

Strategies, current actions, and future plans for managing impacts on biodiversity.

Globally, a Biodiversity Statement has been launched which sets out our expectations of all our companies with regard to biodiversity. It sets out a requirement for all our companies to undertake a Risk and Opportunity Assessment, ensuring that biodiversity is incorporated into business planning and that impacts are managed.

The Biodiversity Statement includes a commitment to minimise our impact on biodiversity and the wider environment. Part of this commitment means minimizing or mitigating our impacts on biodiversity and linked ecosystem services, or where this is not appropriate or most beneficial, offsetting those impacts at a regional or national level. This document can be downloaded at www.batbiodiversity.org and at www.bat.com/ehs

On-the-ground projects in Brazil, Chile, Indonesia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Uganda are currently providing case study evidence on how we can best integrate biodiversity into business planning. The British American Tobacco Biodiversity Partnership is helping to shape future strategy for the Group in the area of biodiversity, by developing a "Framework for the Improved Conservation of Biodiversity", which captures the objectives set out in the Memorandum of Understanding for the Partnership, and translates them into a structure for delivering at project level.

A key element of the framework is the "three strategic priorities":

• Protect and restore habitats and species and ensure sustainable use of natural resources;
• Integrate biodiversity into British American Tobacco's business; and
• Build capability of individuals and organisations. The associated indicators and measures for these priorities are set out in the framework, and include two from GRIs EN13 and EN14 and one from the Global Strategy on Plant Conservation.

This framework is being integrated into the planning and process elements of the Partnership.

We do not have specific plans for this on an EU level.

 EN15

Number of IUCN Red List species and national conservation list species with habitats in areas affected by operations, by level of extinction risk.

We do not currently record this information on a global or an EU level but it is a policy requirement that all our companies undertake a risk assessment to identify the presence of protected or sensitive areas, IUCN Red List species and any negative impacts due to company operations on the diversity of life and natural systems within the sphere of influence of company owned or leased tracts of land. Through the development of the Risk and Opportunity Assessment tool, companies are supplied with reference materials to assist them in identifying biologically sensitive sites and IUCN Red List species contained within them.

Through the development of the Risk and Opportunity Assessment tool, companies are supplied with reference materials to assist them in identifying biologically sensitive sites and IUCN Red List species contained within them.

These references include:

• International's Important Bird Areas (IBA) and Endemic Bird Areas (EBA);
• IUCN Protected areas I-IV and Red List;
• Ramsar convention on Wetlands; and
• UNESCO World Heritage sites.

 EN16

Total direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions by weight.

All greenhouse gases are reported in CO2 equivalent.
Emissions of CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs and SF6 are estimated as insignificant.

 EN17

Other relevant indirect greenhouse gas emissions by weight.

We do not measure this on an EU level. In the EU we purchase small amounts of tobacco from tobacco dealers and the curing of some types of tobacco by farmers' results in greenhouse gas emissions. This is however not part of British American Tobacco business and we therefore do not measure the greenhouse gas emissions related to the tobacco curing.

 EN18

Initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reductions achieved.

We do not collate this data at the EU level, we therefore provide global information.

Reductions in greenhouse gas emissions have been achieved predominantly by manufacturing rationalisation activities, energy conservation initiatives and reductions in freight.

The localisation of manufacture from the UK to the Far East has resulted in significant reductions in global freight. The shorter supply chains for these products are estimated to have reduced emissions from freight by 9393 metric tonnes of CO2 in total.

 EN19

Emissions of ozone-depleting substances by weight.

All greenhouse gases are reported in CO2 equivalent. Emissions of CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs and SF6 are estimated as insignificant.

 EN20

NOx, SOx, and other significant air emissions by type and weight.

All greenhouse gases are reported in CO2 equivalent. Emissions of CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs and SF6 are estimated as insignificant.

 EN21

Total water discharge by quality and destination.

This is the total of water discharged by the company, we do not report on destination well.

Zero is reported for small TMD sites (offices) where the water consumption/discharge is not significant or included in the office rent. We reflect normally just water discharge from sites (office or factory). The water disposals in offices are normally not significantly high (Example Germany: Factory 90000m³ / Hamburg 5000 m³ and Hamburg is a very large office site with 650 employees).

 EN22

Total weight of waste by type and disposal method.

 EN23

Total number and volume of significant spills.

No significant spills of chemicals, oils or fuels were reported in 2006 by our companies in the EU.

 EN24

Weight of transported, imported, exported, or treated waste deemed hazardous under the terms of the Basel Convention Annex I, II, III, and VIII, and percentage of transported waste shipped internationally.

Our companies' activities do not require the transportation of hazardous waste.

 EN25

Identity, size, protected status, and biodiversity value of water bodies and related habitats significantly affected by the reporting organisation's discharges of water and runoff.

No such impacts have been reported as a result of our companies' activities in the EU.

 EN26

Initiatives to mitigate environmental impacts of products and services, and extent of impact mitigation.

There have been a number of initiatives to reduce the environmental impact of our products throughout 2006. One aspect is our drive to reduce packaging complexity.

The "naked wrap" project involves the elimination of cartons and paper wrap used to bundle cigarette packs together. The term naked wrap refers to the use of clear polypropylene film wrapping. Previously, packs were bundled together in cartons with a film overwrap. We have now eliminated the need for cartons and paper parcels but have kept the film. In addition to a significant cost saving, naked wrap removes the need for materials currently used for cartons.

We have implemented this new way of packaging internationally through a number of regional programmes. We have already converted 35 per cent of the total volume to naked wrap, saving roughly one billion cartons per annum which is equivalent to 29000 tonnes of packaging per annum.

We are also introducing non-branded master cases. Instead of packaging cartons and paper parcels in cases with printed branding, we now pack into plain brown cardboard packing cases with black and white labels and in one factory - Vranje, in Serbia - we are piloting reusable plastic packing cases. In Vranje, 40 per cent of the volume is shipped in cardboard cases and 60 per cent in plastic cases. These initiatives are estimated to save 1500 tonnes of cardboard per annum.

 EN27

Percentage of products sold and their packaging materials that are reclaimed by category.

Approximately 50 per cent by weight of our products is normally consumed. The remaining 50 per cent is handled through public and private waste handling services and is all recoverable for energy use, as defined by EU directive 94/62/EC EN 13431 (Energy recovery: packaging and packaging waste). The amount of product actually reclaimed is not measured as it is not within our control.

 EN28

Monetary value of significant fines and total number of non-monetary sanctions for non-compliance with environmental laws and regulations.

There were no instances of environmental non-compliance or fines in 2006.

 EN29

Significant environmental impacts of transporting products and other goods and materials used for the organisation's operations, and transporting members of the workforce.

We measure energy for transport.

Countries where transport is outsourced, do not report.

 EN30

Total environmental protection expenditures and investments by type.

We measure Environmental Health and Safety expenditure.
