How does the company allocate resources to manage water and marine resources, including: (a) avoiding the use of water and marine resources, (b) reducing the use of water and marine resources through efficiency measures, (c) reclaiming and reusing water, or (d) restoring and regenerating aquatic ecosystems and water bodies?
CSRD
When describing the actions and resources related to water and marine resources, explain how resources are allocated to the following areas:
Avoidance of Water and Marine Resource Use:
Describe any measures or strategies adopted to avoid the use of water and marine resources in your operations.
This could involve operational changes such as selecting alternative materials, redesigning processes to reduce water dependency, or relocating operations away from water-stressed areas.
Reduction of Water and Marine Resource Use:
Explain how resources are allocated to reduce the consumption of water and marine resources through efficiency measures.
This might include implementing water-saving technologies, optimizing production processes to reduce water usage, or changing business practices (e.g., adopting closed-loop systems to minimize freshwater withdrawals).
Reclaiming and Reuse of Water:
Describe how resources are allocated to reclaim and reuse water within your operations.
Examples might include investing in water treatment technologies, setting up recycling systems for industrial water, or using rainwater harvesting to supplement water usage.
Restoration and Regeneration of Aquatic Ecosystems and Water Bodies:
Outline how resources are directed towards the restoration and regeneration of aquatic ecosystems and water bodies.
This could include funding or engaging in projects such as wetland restoration, reforestation of riverbanks, or rehabilitating marine ecosystems to enhance biodiversity and improve water quality.
Ensure that you describe how these resources are allocated within your organization, specifying the financial investments, technologies, and processes in place to address water and marine resource challenges across your operations.
