caring for water

Water is a shared resource that we are committed to managing sustainably. Everyone, everywhere has the right to clean, safe water for drinking and sanitation. Responsible water stewardship is a key part of achieving our ambition to strive for zero environmental impact in our operations.

From 2012-2020, we have reduced our water use in manufacturing by ~4.5% which is equivalent to approximately 14,900,000 liters in absolute terms.

Reduce

Improved technologies in UHT line

In 2013, we installed new technologies in our UHT (Ultra Heat Treatment) lines, which helped us reduce our water usage by approximately 33 million litres a year, in comparison to previous water consumption for the same process.

Reuse

Wastewater treatment plant

Our wastewater treatment plant treats wastewater generated from food processing. We reuse this water in our factory operations for gardening, toilet flushing, and water-cooling processes as well as for our neighbouring coconut plant nursery. The plant reuses an approximate 100 million litres* of water a year (*basis year – 2020).

Reverse Osmosis (RO) plant

Our Reverse Osmosis (RO) plant helps us further purify treated water and helps improve the efficiency of our boilers. It also helps us save approximately 900 GJ* of energy every year in our operations. (*basis year – 2020)
