Water Stress Evaluations
The Group uses the World Resources Institute’s (WRI) Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas as a tool for evaluating water risk. Water risk evaluations are being carried out for domestic and international production sites from now until 2040.
The results of the evaluations reveal that the overall risk related to water stress is low. The risk of water stress is also considered low as the Group’s water consumption is not high.
