How do we do it? Reducing our consumption Water consumption Our goal is to optimise our water consumptionIn our homes, we are gradually rolling outwater-saving equipment such as water filte,rs management through monitoring, reduction and reuse measures, tap aerators and dual-flush toilets. Depending on the and by monitoring the quality of the water used and equipment, these devices can significantly reduce discharged by our homes. As part of our duty ofwater consumption, in some cases by up to 70%. care at Group level, specific work on water use has identified potential risks and strengthened preven Our technical teams, who are experts in their - tive measures and best practices across all ourbuildings, also work to optimise existing systems: Why are we doing this? operations (see Environmental Tome, p.82) . programming automatic watering of green spaces, adjusting plumbing, training maintenance staff to As climate change increases pressure on water resources, with more frequent and intense periods of drought Measuring and managing our consumption detect leaks, etc. in some of the regions where we operate, responsible water management is an issue we take very seriously. Each home monitors its water consumption and Our business involves water-intensive activities (particularly laundry and kitchens) and specific bacterial and Treating wastewater chemical water quality requirements (quality control, legionella prevention, etc.). implements optimisation measures locally.
