PRESIDENT AND CEO’S MESSAGE
THE NSG GROUP IS COMMITTED TO
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT. OUR
STRATEGY AND POLICIES RESPOND TO THE
CHALLENGES WE ALL FACE IN MANAGING
THE WORLD’S LIMITED RESOURCES.
We deliver products and services of unique value
that contribute to improving living standards,
people’s safety, wellbeing and to the generation
and conservation of energy.
• We are constantly improving our own energy efficiency
and resource management. Our 2014 greenhouse gas
emissions reduced by 7% to 4.2 million tonnes by improving
capacity utilization and energy efficiency in our
operations.
• We aim to make a positive environmental contribution to the
value chains in which we operate, while benefiting from the
growing international demand for our products that help
improve energy efficiency. Glass has an important
contribution to make in helping to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions.
• We collaborate with stakeholders in the framing of policies
and regulations to help improve energy efficiency through
the use of glass.30th April 2015 NSG Group Confidential Information 8

Achieve Excellence in all operations is a
priority target for NSG Group to be pursued
through relentless implementation of:
• Lean Manufacturing in each site,
reducing all types of waste by involving all
employees
• Standardisation of Global Best
Practices

13. Kaizen Tool
Quick Kaizen = involve everybody in “Make it better”
• Kaizen is the most powerful and popular problem-solving tool to
improve performance and eliminate the waste.
• Kaizen is a Japanese word: Kai (改) means “change”, Zen
(善) means “better”. Finally, Kaizen is “ Make it better “.
• Quick Kaizen is a small improvement project that can be done
• … quickly (to be completed within 1week)
• … without investment. Normally they are made by operators.
• … for any aspects of our operation (more safety, easily, better 5S,
higher quality, etc).
• By implementing Quick Kaizen , all operators generally find
work to be easier and more enjoyable-resulting higher
operator’s moral and ownership and team-working

15. Energy – Manufacturing Excellence
• Role of manufacturing excellence must be to focus on achieving
excellence in energy efficiency
• Overall energy efficiency improvement must be the primary
objective and manufacturing excellence activities will support
this goal
• A number of factors will influence efficiency – we must focus on
the controllable parameters while minimising impact of others
• Approach should be to adopt zero cost initiatives to maximise
efficiency to ensure baseline situation is world class prior to
investment taking place
• Investment is often a ‘quick-fix’ solution – but not necessarily the
right solution.
• Any approach to energy excellence must include both efficiency
and price factors to deliver the overall optimised solution.
30th April 2015 NSG Group Confidential Information 15
Deliver energy efficiency with a co-ordinated consistent approach
16. Who is involved and how
• Overall project activity managed by procurement and ME
• 4 types of interacting team within the ME energy project
framework
• Local site initiatives – minimal ME support
• ME Energy Team (ME Energy Sub Team)
• ME Pilot Project Team
• Further support by R&D activities (ECR)
• Concept for interaction:
1. Step change initiatives at Pilot sites
2. ME Energy Team to develop longer term, higher risk, central best
practice based initiatives & roll-out Group-wide
3. ME Sub team to develop low risk proven initiatives from site
activities and ‘quick win’ roll-out
4. Novel initiatives supported through ECR project

17. Energy Efficiency Activities
• ‘Energy Management’ activities primarily in two areas;
• Management Systems – ‘zero’ cost activities focused mainly
on improving in-direct energy usage, e.g.
• Management organisation, monitoring, reporting, targeting,
auditing, awareness training, communication, etc..
• Efficiency Activities – focused mainly on improving direct
energy usage, e.g.
• Specific energy usage by process/product, engineering design,
product planning, process utilisation, etc..
• ‘Capex’ investment opportunity with potential 3rd
party investment
approach
– Develop appropriate financing model
– Tender project opportunities to 3rd
parties
– Projects co-ordinated through ME/Procurement

18. Opportunities to reduce Energy
cost
• Based on a deep finding opportunity process a number of
categories of energy cost reduction project have been identified
30th April 2015 NSG Group Confidential Information 18
1. Contract Analysis
Contract negotiation to reduce
cost according to energy profile,
e.g. peak demand charges
2. Awareness
Train every individual to
understand the role they have in
efficiency, e.g. turn-off campaign
3. Maintenance
Maintain efficiency of existing
equipment – eliminate waste e.g.
compressed air leaks
4. Operational Efficiency
Establish optimum efficiency
-Measure/monitor & analyse
consumption & communicate/train
operators to act on deviations
5. Infrastructure Efficiency
Optimise non process energy
usage, e.g. lighting, heating
systems
6. Fuel Type / Stocks
Is the energy being used the
correct type e.g. compressed air –
cheaper alternatives?
7. Heat (energy) Recovery
Install energy recovery systems to
utilise ‘waste’ energy effectively,
e.g. waste heat boilers
8. Water Usage
Optimise process water usage e.g.
drain water recovery systems

21. Energy Management - Summary
• Effective energy management is a critical requirement
incorporated into the NSG Group Strategy
• Senior management commitment established
• Several interacting initiatives to deliver improvements in energy
cost and efficiency supported by Group wide programmes
• Focus on step change improvements in focus sites and effective
dissemination across all sites
• Local factors may result in increased activities in energy
management
• Activities will be driven by cost saving potential in the short term
• Energy management systems to be progressively implemented
across the Group – focus on internal systems aligned with
external certification.
30th April 2015 NSG Group Confidential Information 21
FY15 forecasted energy spend globally is in the region of 650 oku en. Pilot sites represent about 1/3 of the total energy spend.
Read the slide (paraphrase)
Examples of large formal project = M5F fuel conversion,
Eg short-term opportunity = applications for white certificates for retrospective projects in SS
3rd party funded – minimal NSG capex, but takes longer, more complex to set up, more risk of failure during the set up stage.
Internal – quicker, less complex – start delivering savings quicker. But requires at least a bit of our money.
In addition to what’s in the slide, you might also pick out cross-functional team working and the fact that we’re gradually building a body of people with higher capability in EM.
