Water use

Water stewardship

As global demand for water grows, we continue to reduce our water consumption and implement responsible water practices. Our processes are not particularly water intensive, but water is critical to many of our operations. And as water stress becomes more pronounced in some areas in which we operate, this will continue to be an area of focus for us.

Measuring and reporting on progress

We set annual water reduction goals, and to meet them, we focus on our largest water users and areas of high water stress. On an annual basis, we evaluate our water use management practices, measure our results and report across our facilities. In 2019, we reduced water consumption by 7% compared to the prior year. 

Water consumption

Since 2015, we have reduced water consumption by 710,597 cubic meters, which equals a 14% reduction from our baseline. Download our Sustainability Report for more.
