GUARANTEE THE SAFETY

OUR COMMITMENTS

GOVERNANCE

Water is an essential resource for our activities. It is a vital component of our industrial processes, which is involved in many production stages. For several years, we have been committed to preserving water quality and resources in all our operations. After an initial target achieved and largely exceeded by a 15% reduction in consumption per tonne of product between 2009 and 2021, we have set ourselves two new targets for 2030: ■ reduce our water consumption per tonne of product by 20% compared to 2018; ■ reduce water consumption per tonne of product at our sites located in high water stress areas by 25% compared to 2018.

Our Water Policy is integrated into the environmental management systems of each of our industrial sites, most of which are ISO 14001 certified. The identified improvement actions are included in the local environmental management programmes. The analysis of water performance and targets is included in the various CSR Management Reviews (regional and Group).

AND RATIONAL MANAGEMENT OF WATER

WATER CONSUMPTION

To reduce our water consumption, we work in two ways: ■ the reduction and optimisation of water consumption by implementing specific measures and raising employee awareness. The goal is to reduce water consumption (sobriety, closed circuits, automated cleaning in place (CIP) systems) and to optimise consumption through regular monitoring (installation of remote meter reading to detect leaks and abnormal consumption in real time); ■ the implementation of water recycling and reuse projects on production sites.

In June 2021, to go further in our commitment to water management, we became signatories of theCEOWater Mandate. This Global Compact initiative mobilises business leaders with regard to water, sanitation and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

-28% WATER CONSUMPTION PER TONNE SINCE 2009

As part of our “CEO Water Mandate” commitment and through our new Group Water Policy, we are committed to: ■ integrating water management issues into our corporate strategy and governance; ■ measuring and monitoring water management practices; ■ increasing operational eciency and reducing pollution; ■ identifying and understanding our water supply impact in accordance with local constraints; ■ promoting good water management practices throughout our value chain: including water-related performance criteria in our supplier assessments and encouraging their initiatives to improve water management; ■ providing adequate water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH programme) services in the workplace for all employees and visitors.
