Water Management
We value water and remain committed to reduce the water footprint of our operations as well as the water consumption of our products.
We have saved over 2 M³ of water in the past 12 years.
As a global company operating throughout the world, we acknowledge water is an essential resource of life and we are committed to reducing the impact that we have on water resources. This is the reason why, in the last 12 years, we have saved 1,350,000 M³ of water globally through regular investments in water efficiency and rainwater harvesting projects. In 2023 alone we saved a total 288,973 m3 of water in various locations.
In this context, respecting the human right to water and sanitation, we are committed to:
- Perform our activities beyond regulatory compliance.
- Improve our water performance by focusing on reducing water consumption, increasing water efficiency, enhancing water monitoring and increasing water recycling & reuse in line with our water targets and goals.
- Minimise our water related environmental impacts throughout the product lifecycle by adopting innovative technologies.
- Raise environmental awareness of our employees, stakeholders and the society.
- Support water stewardship by collaborating with related stakeholders and participating in national & international water initiatives.
- Integrating with our Environmental, Energy, Health & Safety, Quality and GHG Management Systems and supporting other environmental issues including climate change.
Factory water output clean enough to sustain life.
We take our impact on the environment very seriously and make sure our water output is cleaned to a very high standard. As an example, outside our cooking appliances factory in Bolu, Turkey, we have a pool with 700 koi carp thriving in water previously used in our production process.
