We have solid water reduction programme (opex and capex for water reusing and water reduction initiatives); we set long-term water reduction targets - for the time being these targets are till 2020 and will be extended. We built our Top 10 Water saving initiatives which are mandatory for all plants and current implementation ratio of Schimatari plant is 73%. Since 2015 we use the “true cost of water with water stress multiplier” concept which we apply for investment projects. The risk mitigation plans of the site (based on our Source Vulnerability Assessment and Source Water Protection Plan) are monitored quarterly. The site was certified in European Water Stewardship Standard, with Gold. We train employees in water reduction initiatives and we set a special recognition system for ideas related to water saving (our programme Near Loss and local reward programme). We operate our own waste water treatment plant and it is possible in the future to reuse this water for utility purposes and irrigation.
