Peab Industri purchases environmentally certified electricity from Vattenfall

The recently listed PEAB Industri AB will purchase environmentally certified
hydroelectric power from Vattenfall to cover its entire electric power needs
until 2011. The total contract involves 39 GWh during 2008.

Peab Industri has chosen Vattenfall's environmentally certified VattenEl EPD as
an addition to its electric power supply agreement up until 2011. As a result,
in its environmental audit the company will be able to specify the exact
environmental impact of its electricity consumption. 

VattenEl EPD is hydroelectric power which is generated in accordance with the
applicable environmental declaration under the EPD (Environmental Product
Declarations) system. The origin of the electricity is specified with specific
data on how it is generated and the impact of generation on the environment. The
calculations are based on data from life cycle analyses. Life cycle analyses
record all resource utilisation and all emissions during the entire product life
cycle. Customers can obtain information concerning emissions of sulphur oxides,
dust and carbon dioxides from electricity generation.

“We have chosen environmentally certified electricity from Vattenfall to visibly
demonstrate that we are taking action to reduce the negative environmental
impact of our activities. As a leading supplier of products and services for the
construction and civil engineering market it is crucial for us to contribute to
sustainable development in society,” says Mats O Paulsson, CEO of Peab Industri.

“It is always a matter for satisfaction when our customers renew their trust in
us. We at Vattenfall carry a heavy responsibility in environmental issues, in
particular in the fight against climate change. We also want to help our
customers to show their concern for the environment through specific action, for
example through the sale of environmentally certified hydroelectric power and
collaboration on energy efficiency enhancement. We will also be intensifying
collaboration with our customers in climate questions,” says Göran Hindemark of
Vattenfall Marketing Nordic Region.
