to reduce Saab’s environmental impact and simplify communication
with outside stakeholders.
When environmental requirements are introduced in operations,
training is an important element. We therefore developed a web-
based environmental training programme in  that all Group
employees will attend. During the year, we also revised the training
for employees with legal liability and other key decision-makers.
Climate change
Saab impacts the climate through use of energy for electricity and
heating and fuel for business travel, goods transports, and test and
target ights. We work actively to report CO emissions and improve
energy eciency in our operations and products. Saab’s goal is to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions. is includes emissions from the
use of electricity, heating and cooling, freight, ights, motor vehicles
and business travel.
Saab’s total CO emissions in  from various sectors are indi-
cated in the following diagram:

Total CO emissions from Saab’s operations increased from ,
tonnes in  to , tonnes in . is was mainly due to cor-
rections in reported consumption gures in certain areas. Excluding
these adjustments, emissions have remained fairly constant,
although the percentages have changed slightly. Aviation operations
increased in , at the same time that emissions from business
travel have declined. Measured in tonnes per MSEK in turnover,
emissions have decreased.
In , we reduced energy and fuel consumption in a number of
ways. For example:
• Emissions from business travel have been reduced, primarily due
to increased use of videoconferencing
• Electricity consumption has been reduced by , MWh
• e share of green rental cars increased from  per cent in 
to  per cent in .
Our eet of company cars in Sweden includes only vehicles that meet
Folksam’s safety and environmental requirements.
Saab has an extensive co-operation with municipalities and other
stakeholders in Sweden to reduce the use of electricity, heating energy
and water. We are analysing all the buildings in our main production
locations to nd sources of wasted energy. ese areas are in Tanne-
fors and Malmslätt in Linköping municipality. During the year, we
launched similar energy savings projects in Järfälla and Göteborg.
e analysis measures ventilation, water and electricity consumption,
and how well the systems are adapted to our operations.

and heat energy.

Heating
Saab works actively to improve
efficiency in its use of electricity
and heating energy. The reduc-
tion in electricity consumption
is due to the coordination of
operations and energy savings
measures. The increase in
heating energy consumption is
due to the cold winter in 2010.
Carbon Disclosure Project
Since , Saab participates in the international Carbon Disclosure
Project (CDP), whose goal is to encourage private and public sector
organisations to measure, manage and reduce global climate change
impacts.
CDP’s Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index (CDLI) lists the  com-
panies that have most professionally managed climate issues. For the
fourth consecutive year, Saab received a very high rating for its climate
