II. Governance The Airbus Environmental Policy and overall governance, as described in “– 1.2.2 Climate Change” are applicable to water. III. Risk Management Environmental risk and opportunities, including the ones related to water, are managed following the Company’s ERM system, as described in the section “– 1.2.2 Climate Change”. In addition, water has been identified as relevant to climate change physical risks: work is ongoing to update the above-mentioned risks in line with the TCFD. IV. Implementation/Activities In order to better monitor its approach with regards to water management, the Company has set the following 2030 targets ( vs. 2015 baseline):
The Company’s water usage is mostly linked to sanitation and general uses (around 85%), while the rest is used in production related processes. The underlying approach is to reduce the use of potable water for uses where it is not necessary, while ensuring that the overall withdrawal does not increase. While all concerned sites are working towards these targets to ensure advanced water management practices are implemented, a keen focus is put on areas with current or future high water stress levels. For example, local water stress levels are used as a criterion for prioritising the funding of projects (OpEx and CapEx) and for selecting sites for the launch of pilot projects ( e.g. proof of concept launched in Illescas (Spain) on digitised and automated water consumption real-time monitoring).
– -50% reduction in purchased water; – 0% increase in water withdrawal.
