Energy Consumption
'Energy' shown in our environmental performance data includes electricity, natural gas and liquid fuels (such as diesel and gasoline).
Includes electricity from the grid from 100% renewable sources, as well as solar energy produced onsite.
Used for heating, hot water and education activities.
Includes diesel, unleaded petrol, ethanol, greases and lubricants used in stationary consumption (e.g. groundskeeping, farm operations and diesel generators) and transportation vehicles.
