Why is water so important in sustainability?
Water is a limited resource and the way we use it has far-reaching environmental, social and economic impacts. Here are some reasons why water plays a key role in sustainability:
- Resource conservation: The world’s population is constantly increasing, and with it the demand for water. Sustainable water management helps to preserve this precious resource for future generations.
- Ecosystem protection: Rivers, lakes and wetlands are habitats for many animal and plant species. Through conscious water consumption, we can protect these ecosystems and preserve their biodiversity.
- Climate change adaptation: Climate change is leading to changes in precipitation patterns and more frequent extreme weather events. Sustainable water use helps to mitigate the effects of climate change and ensure water availability in times of drought.
- Social justice: In many parts of the world, people do not have access to clean drinking water. By using water responsibly, we can help to make the water supply more equitable globally.
Our path to sustainable water consumption
In recent years, we have made considerable progress in reducing our water consumption. Thanks to the modernization of our facilities, we have been able to reduce water consumption by an impressive 55,34 % over the past 16 years (2007-2023). This is an important step towards sustainability and demonstrates our commitment to continuously improving our processes. We have focused on the following two measures in particular:
- Technological innovations: By using the latest technologies, we are constantly optimizing our production processes and are able to significantly reduce our water consumption by using modern and water-saving machines.
- Monitoring and analysis: We continuously monitor our water consumption and analyze the data. These analyses help us to identify inefficient processes and make targeted improvements.
