Key Performance Indicator GRI SRS-302-1: Energy consumption
The reporting organization shall report the following information:

b. Total fuel consumption within the organization from renewable sources, in joules or multiples, and including fuel types used.

c. In joules, watt-hours or multiples, the total:
i. electricity consumption
ii. heating consumption
iii. cooling consumption
iv. steam consumption

d. In joules, watt-hours or multiples, the total:
i. electricity sold
ii. heating sold
iii. cooling sold
iv. steam sold

e. Total energy consumption within the organization, in joules or multiples.

f. Standards, methodologies, assumptions, and/or calculation tools used.

g. Source of the conversion factors used.

102,783 m³ gas (calculated at conversion factor 0.9608 and average heating value of 11,36171 in 2020)
23,032 l heating oil
4910 l petroleum (car)
602 l diesel (car)
723,364 kWh electricity consumption
The use of cooling agents is negligible and is therefore not captured.

Key Performance Indicator GRI SRS-302-4: Reduction of energy consumption
The reporting organization shall report the following information:

a. Amount of reductions in energy consumption achieved as a direct result of conservation and efficiency initiatives, in joules or multiples.

b. Types of energy included in the reductions; whether fuel, electricity, heating, cooling, steam, or all.

c. Basis for calculating reductions in energy consumption, such as base year or baseline, including the rationale for choosing it.

d. Standards, methodologies, assumptions, and/or calculation tools used.

In 2020, overall energy consumption was at 7,903,257.2 MJ (9,270,203.6 MJ in 2019). Overall energy consumption in 2020 fell by 1,366,946.4 77 MJ, compared with 2019.

The prior year of 2019 was selected as a base year, in which all required indicators were captured. We used the conversion table at https://www.energie-umwelt.ch/tools/835-einheiten-umrechner-fuer-verschiedene-heizenergie to convert m3 of gas, heating oil in litres and kWh of electricity into Joules.

We used the conversion table at https://www.umrechnung.org/masseinheiten-energie-umrechnen/einheiten-umrechner-energie-energy.htm to convert kWh of electricity into Joules.

We used the conversion table at https://bdbe.de/daten/umrechnung-und-formeln for the heating value to convert the fuel used by our cars into Joules.

Key Performance Indicator GRI SRS-303-3: Water withdrawal
The reporting organization shall report the following information:

a. Total water withdrawal from all areas in megaliters, and a breakdown of this total by the following sources, if applicable:
i. Surface water;
ii. Groundwater;
iii. Seawater;
iv. Produced water;
v. Third-party water.

b. Total water withdrawal from all areas with water stress in megaliters, and a breakdown of this total by the following sources, if applicable:
i. Surface water;
ii. Groundwater;
iii. Seawater;
iv. Produced water;
v. Third-party water, and a breakdown of this total by the withdrawal sources listed in i-iv.

c. A breakdown of total water withdrawal from each of the sources listed in Disclosures 303-3-a and 303-3-b in megaliters by the following categories:
i. Freshwater (≤1,000 mg/L Total Dissolved Solids);
ii. Other water (>1,000 mg/L Total Dissolved Solids).

d. Any contextual information necessary to understand how the data have been compiled, such as any standards, methodologies, and assumptions used.

Cf. criterion 11: All our water intake is from the local water supply. We use the existing public infrastructure for our waste water.

We were able to reduce our water consumption from 5,648 m³ in 2019 to 3,346 m³ in 2020. Per capita consumption in 2020 was 9.755 litres, so theoretically each employee used 48% less water. However, significantly fewer employees were present in our building due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A large part of the reduction may be attributed to this. Savings in comparison with 2019 will also be made in the future due to the modernisation of our building.

Rentenbank disposes of its waste water into the public sewage infrastructure. This consists of household waste water.

Key Performance Indicator GRI SRS-306-3: Waste generated
The reporting organization shall report the following information:

a. Total weight of waste generated in metric tons, and a breakdown of this total by composition of the waste.

b. Contextual information necessary to understand the data and how the data has been compiled.

Refuse
No hazardous waste was accrued. The overall weight of non-hazardous waste in 2020 amounted to 115.43 t.

Rentenbank has a certified waste disposal firm collect, transport and, if at all possible, recycle its refuse. When granting its contracts, it checks that the distances involved in transporting the waste are as short as possible.

Non-hazardous waste such as non-recyclable waste, organic waste or packaging increased versus the previous year (93.87 t to 115.43 t). The proportion of paper, cardboard and cardboard boxes increased from 16.5% in 2019 (15.54 t) to 29.19% in 2020 (33.7 t). The increase is due to the move and the associated disposal of old documents.
