Environmental Responsibility

Water Security

Our Approach

Despite operating in countries rich in water resources, we acknowledge that water scarcity has become more prevalent and poses threat to communities and economies.

As our operations rely on a stable and sufficient water supply, we are committed to conserving resources and improving efficiency across all our operation sites. We manage water withdrawal and consumption responsibly, following industry best practices.

Responsible Water Resource Management

In efforts to plan for a more sustainable and resource efficient water management, we identify operations located in areas known or projected to have water stress risk. Across the Group, approximately one-fifth of our facilities are situated in areas expected to experience low level of water stress.

At our operational sites, we have installed water flowmeters to closely monitor consumption patterns and promptly detect potential leakages in our distribution systems. This helps reduce water waste and enhances operational efficiency.
