Material Topic: E3 Water
Material Sub-topics: Water
Use water efficiently in our operations and minimize the impact of water use and discharge on the environment and local communities
Relevant SDGs:
SDG targets:
6.3 By 2030, improve water quality by reducing pollution, eliminating dumping, and minimizing the release of hazardous chemicals and materials, halving the proportion of untreated wastewater, and substantially increasing recycling and safe reuse globally
6.4By 2030, substantially increase water use efficiency across all sectors and ensure sustainable withdrawals and supply of freshwater to address water scarcity and substantially reduce the number of people suffering from water scarcity
12.2By 2030, achieve the sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources
14.1By 2025, prevent and significantly reduce marine pollution of all kinds, in particular from land-based activities, including marine debris and nutrient pollution
The material impact and risk related to E3 Water can be found in SBM-3 Material Impacts, Risks, and Opportunities and Their Interaction with Strategy and Business Model. This topic is governed centrally by Group HSSE, which is led by the VP HSSE, who reports directly to the CEO. HSSE departments at OMV Petrom and Borealis govern their respective issues and coordinate their local HSSE officers and experts.
