As part of our role as a major manufacturer with corporate responsibility, we are committed to safeguarding the shrinking water supply in various regions around the world. Water is not only critical for supporting local ecosystems and preserving biodiversity, but also for providing safe, clean drinking water to entire populations and to nurturing critical agriculture. By improving water efficiency in our operations and by focusing on water replenishment, we help to bolster the availability of such a precious resource and to protect the future of diverse environments and communities.

Ensenada

Kickstarted in 2024, our third water replenishment project centers around the Colorado River Delta, aiming to secure sustainable water sources for both people and nature while creating water savings for instream flow restoration. Created in partnership with The Nature Conservancy and set near our Ensenada, Mexico plant, this project intends to bolster critical water supply to the stressed and growing Baja California region.

Returns over 4 million gallons of water annually to the regional watershed

Cabreúva

The first of our watershed replenishment efforts focused on the São Paulo Water Fund conservation project through a three-year collaboration with The Nature Conservancy and other partners. Now completed, this initiative aimed to enhance water security for the threatened Jundiaí Mirim Watershed, crucial to the water supply for our Cabreúva facility and the larger Piracicaba, Capivari, Jundiai (PCJ) basin serving over 10 million people. 
 

Protects 100 hectares of forest annually

Saves over 15.5 million gallons of water annually

Replenishes >50% of water used in our local operations

Offsets 1,310 metric tons of CO2 annually

Korinthos

We established our second replenishment project near our Korinthos, Greece facility in partnership with the Global Water Partnership–Mediterranean. Focused on technical changes, this initiative aims to enhance the efficiency of the municipality’s water treatment plant through measures such as to recirculating and re-treating filter backwash water. Estimated for completion in 2024, the project should improve community access to safe, clean water, as well as preserve the water basin that serves our local plant.

    Awareness that the global water supply is at risk informed Goal #9 in our Twentyby30™ sustainability program: To replenish 100% of water consumed from high-stressed watersheds back to those watersheds. This target includes steps to: 

    • Validate the number of plants in high water-stressed locations.
    • Identify watershed-level projects to implement in high water-stressed locations.
    • Implement projects in collaboration with local partners.
    • Measure and report project implementation progress.

    Today, we are leading water replenishment efforts in several areas of the world and continue to explore new project sites. The goal? Balance our operations’ water consumption levels and improve the quality of watersheds and water basins wherever we are able.
