Energy

Energy efficiency is a core component of how we operate. We monitor energy consumption monthly across all sites, accounting for differences in processes and infrastructure.

All production facilities operate under a five-year Energy Efficiency Program. This program identifies key areas of high energy use and prioritizes initiatives that deliver measurable, long-term reductions. These efforts include investments in energy-efficient equipment, heat recovery and reuse systems, improved insulation, and LED lighting.

Energy reduction targets are integrated into our global strategic plan and managed by local operational leaders. These teams are responsible for defining CAPEX roadmaps and ensuring implementation. Energy efficiency is also a required consideration in all production-related capital investments.

TenCate Protective Fabrics does not currently generate renewable energy on-site. Feasibility depends on site-specific conditions, and future energy transition targets will be defined as location-specific roadmaps are developed.

In our Georgia (US) facilities, energy is supplied by Georgia Power, with a generation mix that includes solar, hydro, wind, and nuclear sources. At our Nijverdal (EU) site, electricity is supported by 100% green electricity through Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs).
