Reports
A key component of the Charter for Sustainable Cleaning is the commitment by all ordinary company members of the Charter to report annually to A.I.S.E. on a set of key performance indicators (KPIs). This allows A.I.S.E. to chart annually the industry's progress against the 2005 baseline data.
The A.I.S.E. Sustainability Report (merged with the A.I.S.E. Activity Report since 2010) sets out how the soap, detergent, and maintenance products industry is committed to continual improvement in its sustainability profile, at all stages of the product lifecycle through the A.I.S.E. Charter for Sustainable Cleaning. It presents information on the performance of the industry as a whole in Europe with regard to social, economic, and environmental issues, based on KPIs applied throughout the product lifecycle.
Success to date
In the Charter's first fourth full years of operation (2006-2009), verified returns from companies demonstrate how the voluntary commitment of Charter members to continual improvement has yielded positive results across all Europe:
| Energy consumed per tonne of production |
-5.5% |
| CO2 emitted per tonne of production |
-8.9% |
| Packaging per tonne of production |
-1.5% |
