The main cause of the rise in water con- sumption in 2018 is the increase in our activity and inclusion of the figures for the chemicals plant in Indonesia, the fig- ure for 2018 which had not been available in prior years. They are reported this year along with those for the rest of the com- pany to improve our transparency.

In 2018, we analysed the water sources that could be substantially affected by our activities to better control and man- age them and avoid irreversible dam-

age to and better protect and use this resource. Specifically, 28 water sources were analysed, primarily fresh surface water, to examine risks of scarcity and contamination and the impact of each risk using the Water Risk Filter Tool de- veloped by WWF in partnership with KFW DEG. In 2019, we will analyse the other water sources affected by our activities to obtain a complete picture of our poten- tial impact on water and be able to miti- gate it as effectively as possible.
