A year in review Economic / Governance Environment Social Appendix Water stewardship Our use of water generates wastewater, and we ensure that Our sites in water stressed areas this water is treated appropriately before being discharged to the environment. Such treatment can range from full primary Extremely high (>80%) High (40-80%) Medium high (20-40%) Medium low (10-20%) Low (<10%) and/or secondary on-site treatment before discharge to the Arid and low water use No data environment, to partial primary and/or secondary pretreatment Taste & Wellbeing Fragrance & Beauty before the wastewater is sent to third-party sewage, to direct discharge into the environment because of its flawless quality, etc. We ensure that our wastewater meets or exceeds regulatory and industry standards by monitoring parameters such as pH, chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), fat, oil and grease (FOG), total nitrogen, total phosphorus, total organic carbon, temperature, heavy metals, etc., at least as frequently as requested by local legislation and industry standards. On sites that are not deemed to face particular water stress, we will in any case drive continuous improvement to site water use through the 3R approach. Casablanca Cairo On all sites, we will implement our wastewater standard, Pedro Escobedo Cuernavaca highlighting requirements to be fulfilled by all sites in addition to Pune Jigani regulatory requirements. We will also conduct annual contextual water risk assessments using the Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas developed by the World Resources Institute, and review and update the list of sites in water stress areas accordingly. We will Jaguaré Johannesburg also track site water quantity and quality KPIs within our Linares operations for both water withdrawal and water effluents. Our sites continually review hotspots and introduce technical Source: WRI Aqueduct 2019 Baseline Water Stress improvements that drive our water efficiency strategy. We put a special focus on places facing water stress to develop mitigation action plans that include efficiency improvements cleanings and utilities-related consumption including water and reintroduced as water inputs whenever possible in terms and water reuse opportunities. In terms of improvements in treatment, steam and cooling that use water. Once all of quality, safety and cost. Our new water strategy has efficiency, we first focus on the basics, looking to avoid any continuous improvement opportunities have been tackled, the identified 9 sites as being in water-stressed areas. leakages and ensuring preventive maintenance.
