CONTROLLING THE WATER CYCLE ON FACILITIES 2.2.2.4. Reducing water consumption DPEF.22  2.2.2.4.1. For the Automotivedivision , savingwater is a challengefor every manufacturingplant. As with energy,each plant has its own water consumptionmanagementplan based on metering systems, the display of the least water-intensiveoperatingparametersfor each workstationand the deploymentof recyclingsystems.Comparedto 2018, first year of perimeter extension with OV integration, the water consumptionremainsstable, in line with productionvolume change at3.79m 3 /car.

Beyondtheseeffortsto savewaterbasedon managementactions, the Grouphas longdeployedreversecascaderinsingto its painting activities. As a result, the water can be used for six cycles of successive rinses depending on its cleanliness. Today, to curb consumption of natural water resources, the Group works on solutionsfor the recyclingof wastewaterfrom industrialprocesses, including implementationof widespread innovative technologies suchas evapo-concentration, whichseparatethe oil phasefromthe water phaseof aqueous discharges for water reuse in the process.

The data providedabove do not take into account 64,195,252m 3 , from surface water used for cooling cogeneration plants. This abstractedwateris directlyrejectedin the river,andthe sole impact on qualityis a slight increaseof the temperature, largelybelow1°C. The amount of cooling water increasesfrom 2018, due to higher operationaltime of cogenerationplant. For industrialuse, it can be notedstrongimprovement in waterconsumptionper car produced in Rennes,whichendsthe yearbelow1m 3 /carand in Sochauxwhich reducesits averageconsumptionof around20% per car produced. Differencebetweenbest and worst in class increasesto 1 (Trnava, Mangualde,Rennes)to 6 (Luton,Ruesselsheim),and shareof good practiceshasbeenengagedto reducethis gap. For AutomotiveTrade , water consumptiondecreasesin line with change ofreporting perimeter.

Data was reportedfrom 91% of sites in 2019 (99% in 2018). Water consumptionat dealershipswas mainlyfor sanitaryuse and vehicle maintenance for pointsof sale withtheir owncarwash. Water treatment 2.2.2.4.2. Whetherconnectedto the publicwastewatertreatmentnetworkor equippedwith their own integratedtreatmentplant, each facility tracks effluent systematically using indicators, defined in the operating permits. The results of the tracking operations are reported to administrative authorities on a frequent basis. Additionally,the continued applicationof the nickel-free surface treatmentprocess undertakenfor several years now in the body factorieshas made it possibleto significantlyreducethe quantities of thisheavymetal inthe factories’endwaste.

COD = chemical oxygen demand. BOD5 = biochemical oxygen demand in five days. SM = suspended matter. Nota: Data for Faurecia have not been consolidated because the differences in regulatory requirements worldwide mean it is not possible to consolidate indicators in a uniform manner.

For Automotive Activities , all the effluents are treated before discharge into rivers, either in plant and/or in city,waste water treatmentplantaccordingto legalrequirements.Pollutingdischarge remains globally constant, thus illustrating the stability and performanceof internal treatmentfacilities.Increasein suspended maters discharge comefroma more efficient monitoring inKaluga.

For Faurecia , when water is contaminated during the manufacturingprocessand must be treatedbefore discharge,the sites most often use the collective network (for 67% of water discharged). Other sites have in-house installations (14% of discharges). Other, uncontaminatedwater is discharged directly into the natural environment.
