Challenges and Opportunities
Energy management in manufacturing requires discipline.
Energy is needed for production, cooling, drying, utilities, material handling and facility operations. As production and business activities grow, energy demand can also increase. At the same time, energy cost, climate expectations and emissions disclosure requirements are becoming more important to customers, investors and regulators.
For MEGA, the opportunity is to make energy efficiency a practical part of operations. Better equipment, process optimization, monitoring, clean energy use and environmental management can help reduce energy waste, improve cost resilience and support climate action without compromising product quality or operational reliability.
Manufacturing operations require energy for cooling, drying, utilities and production support.
Improve equipment efficiency, production planning and process control.
Energy consumption can increase as business activities expand.
Monitor energy use by source and identify high-consumption areas for improvement.
Purchased electricity remains the largest part of the energy mix.
Improve electrical efficiency and use renewable electricity where feasible.
Natural gas remains an important energy source in operations.
Improve thermal efficiency and reduce unnecessary energy loss in energy-intensive processes.
Climate-related regulations and energy costs may increase over time.
Improve energy resilience through efficiency, operational improvement and cleaner energy options.
Why Energy Management Matters to MEGA
MEGA’s purpose is to help people stay healthy as long as they live. To serve this purpose responsibly, we must manage the resources used in our operations with care. Energy efficiency helps MEGA reduce its environmental footprint, control operating costs and support reliable production of quality health products.
Energy management also matters because it is closely linked with climate change. Purchased electricity and fuel consumption contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, while efficient operations help reduce energy-related emissions and improve resilience. This makes energy management one of the practical ways MEGA can protect the environment while supporting long-term sustainable growth.
Our Renewable Energy Management Approach
MEGA’s energy management approach is based on monitoring, efficiency improvement and environmental management. We track energy consumption by source, including non-renewable fuel, purchased electricity and renewable energy, and use this information to identify opportunities for operational improvement.
Energy management is also connected to MEGA’s climate and environmental goals. In the short term, MEGA focuses on improving operational efficiency, using renewable energy resources, recycling and innovation. Energy-related actions are managed through operational teams and the environmental management system, which supports systematic environmental control, compliance and continuous improvement.
Energy Consumption and Energy Mix
In 2025, MEGA’s total energy consumption within the organization was 31,911.30 MWh. The energy mix comprised 16,848.00 MWh of purchased electricity, 12,649.28 MWh of non-renewable fuel and 2,414.02 MWh of renewable energy. Purchased electricity represented approximately 52.80% of total energy consumption, non-renewable fuel represented 39.64%, and renewable energy represented 7.56%.
Energy consumption outside the organization was 1,096.59 MWh, representing fuel- and energy-related activities not included in Scope 1 or Scope 2. This figure supports MEGA’s wider climate and energy-related disclosure and helps connect energy use with emissions reporting.
| Energy Source | 2025 Consumption | Share of Total Energy |
|---|---|---|
| Purchased electricity | 16,848.00 MWh | 52.80% |
| Non-renewable fuel | 12,649.28 MWh | 39.64% |
| Renewable energy | 2,414.02 MWh | 7.56% |
| Total energy within the organization | 31,911.30 MWh | 100.00% |
Energy Performance Trend
MEGA tracks energy consumption over time to understand how operational activity, production needs and energy initiatives affect performance. Total energy consumption increased from 28,581.02 MWh in 2024 to 31,911.30 MWh in 2025, representing an increase of approximately 11.65%.
The increase was driven mainly by higher purchased electricity and non-renewable fuel consumption. Renewable energy consumption remained broadly stable, moving from 2,429.44 MWh in 2024 to 2,414.02 MWh in 2025. This shows why energy efficiency remains important: even when renewable energy is used, operational growth and process demand can increase total energy consumption.
| Year | Non-Renewable Fuel (MWh) | Purchased Electricity (MWh) | Renewable Energy (MWh) | Total Energy (MWh) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 9,798.37 | 12,919.00 | 1,316.57 | 24,033.94 |
