In 2023, Rockfield Dairy Ltd reduced energy intensity, surpassing the energy usage target by 15% and exceeding their five-year target prematurely.
In 2023, Rockfield Dairy Ltd significantly reduced its energy intensity from 0.65 kWh/l in 2022 to 0.53 kWh/l in 2023, surpassing their milestone target by 15%. This achievement, driven by improvements in batch production efficiencies encouraged by a steady incline in sales, enabling the company to meet and exceed their five-year target ahead of schedule. As a result, Rockfield Dairy Ltd has re-projected their target to maintain this improved efficiency for the remainder of the Plan period.
Key initiatives in 2023 focused on optimising energy usage and encouraging staff to reduce consumption and become more conscious of their individual energy consumption, fostering a culture of sustainability. One of the significant outcomes of these initiatives was driven by increased sales, which allowed the company to scale up its production capabilities. This, in turn, facilitated the production of larger batch production, further boosting energy efficiency. The company has updated its target to maintain these achievements through 2025, with a formal review scheduled during the next annual review.
