There was a 11.5% reduction in water consumption per ton of production between 2020 and 2021. BIC production is not water intensive and most of the consumption is due to domestic use. 2020 was an exceptional year, due to the pandemic which increased water demand from personnel for hygiene reason. In addition to the volumes consumed, it is essential to consider where this consumption takes place. It can occur in so-called “water stress” zones. The uneven distribution of water across the planet, and limited access to it, may give rise to severe political and social tensions. Eight facilities show a moderate risk of water stress (in Europe, the United States, India, Africa, Mexico and Brazil). This is according to a global risk assessment on water and its future availability conducted by BIC in 2018. The Group will continue to seek to improve its water consumption ratios, factoring in the scarcity of this resource when prioritizing its action plans for the reduction of water consumption. BIC East Africa (Kenya) has finished the project of water recycling in the closed-loops cooling systems, achieving a water consumption reduction of 1.28% via water reuse.
