With water becoming an increasingly scarce resource, restrictions on its use and on the quality of the water discharged will become more and more common. As a result, UF Industries has defined a 40% reduction target in terms of water consumption over 2020.

An Everyday Affair

At UF Industries, our commitment to clean water is an everyday affair, one that is fully ingrained in how we operate. For example, with the aim of reducing water consumption by 40% by 2030 (over 2015 rate), we routinely monitor our water intake. We also continue to increase the amount of recycled water we use, which is currently at 95%.

After continuous decreases , our water consumption has since stabilized, a trend once again seen in 2022.

Progress Being Made

To ensure we meet our 2030 targets, our production sites are taking specific steps to reduce consumption.

With a focus on Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, a project team is currently rolling out a pilot program, with initial results expected in 2024.

To continue our progress, the Group is preparing a specific policy on water consumption. Once finalized, it will provide best practices in mapping, standardized measurement protocols, and serve as the basis for a rigorous, site-level water management plan.
