40 SAAB ANNUAL REPORT 2013
emissions, with the rest attributable to machinery, processes and
electricity and heating for our facilities.
An energy saving project was launched in 2009 to cut energy
consumption at Saab’s properties in Sweden in half by 2015. So
far, a 20 per cent reduction has been achieved. Several measures
have been implemented under this project, including a decrease
in premises size, more ecient operations and various types of
technological investments. During 2013 several business areas
published articles on the intranet on the best methods for redu-
cing climate impact. We also improved our car-pool portal and
climate-adapted Saab’s Travel Directive.
Hazardous chemicals
Several business areas have decided to avoid using hazardous
substances in new development projects whenever possible.
Pursuant to business area action plans, several projects to phase
out hazardous chemicals were initiated during the year. ese
mainly concern the phase-out of chromium, lead, cadmium and
trichloroethylene.
2014 ambitions
Climate change
Many measures that reduce CO2 emissions will be implemented as
part of our energy saving project. We will also continue to provide
information on climate issues to our employees.
In terms of climate reporting, our ambition is to regain our po-
sition in the CDP’s Leadership Index. A project will be launched
in 2014 to examine options for operating Gripen E on biofuel.
FMV, the US Air Force, General Electric, Saab and a biofuel
manu facturer are participating in the project.
Hazardous chemical substances
In most cases, the phase-out eorts made in 2013 will continue
during 2014. More projects will also be initiated, in accordance
with the business areas’ action plans.

Electricity Heating
Saab actively works to improve efficiency in the consumption of
electricity and thermal energy. The consumption of both electricity
and thermal energy has decreased in 2013.
The decrease in VOC emissions in
2013 is due to decreased produc-
tion in Saab Barracuda. Aeronautics
and Support & Services produce
the most emissions.
Trichloroethylene is used within Aeronautics
and Electronic Defence Systems. In recent
years, the consumption of trichloroethylene has
decreased considerably.
The graph shows that personal travel and purchased
electricity represent more than 50 per cent of Saab’s
total carbon dioxide emissions.
