Our water source is primarily from municipal potable supplies, with no direct extraction from natural water bodies such as rivers, oceans, surface water, or wells, except for rainwater harvesting. Water usage supports domestic and cooling purposes within our midstream facilities, as well as the treatment of aluminium profiles in downstream operations. To optimise efficiency, cooling water is recycled through a closed-loop system to optimise efficiency and reducing wastage while maintaining performance. Wastewater generated in our processes will be treated using a dedicated water treatment system, meeting discharge quality standards set by relevant regulatory authorities before being safely released into the environment. Zero (0) manufacturing operations in water-stressed regions Driving Awareness Across Our Workforce A culture of water conservation starts with awareness and engagement at every level of the organisation. Encouraging employees to integrate water-efficient initiatives into daily operations is essential in fostering sustainable habits. Through internal training, awareness campaigns and collaboration with stakeholders, we actively promote responsible water management practices that extend beyond our immediate operations. Partnerships are also key to driving meaningful impact. Through working with suppliers and customers, we align efforts toward shared water conservation goals and best practices. In reinforcing this commitment, we encourage suppliers to adopt water-efficient practices through our SCoC, promoting responsible water stewardship across our entire value chain. 75% of our operational sites implement water management plans tailored to site-specific requirements, focusing on reducing withdrawal intensity and improving recycling and reuse practices. While none of our facilities are located in water-stressed regions, we are committed to protecting water resources and continuously improving water efficiency across all operations.
