Abbott: Clean, Accessible Water for a Healthy Future - Seite 2
Thirteen additional Abbott manufacturing sites in areas considered water-stressed but not in high water impact also started implementing water stewardship practices last year.
Partnering for Greater Impact
It will take everyone working together to make the biggest impact in water stewardship. That's why partnership is part of our approach and why, for example, we engage our suppliers in high water-stressed areas to work with us to reduce risks to water quality and quantity. So far, we've engaged 26 Abbott suppliers from water-stressed locations to identify water management opportunities and have piloted more robust partnerships with five key suppliers to reduce our shared-water impacts.
As part of our AWS certification efforts, Abbott also works with local communities to solve shared water challenges because successful water management accounts for local water and biodiversity needs. This means identifying opportunities to have an impact - and acting. For example:
- Our AWS-certified site in Spain donates empty, bulk containers to a local reforestation nonprofit group, supporting irrigation of trees and recycling of the containers.
- In California our AWS-certified site partners with a waste disposal company to provide compost to a local winery to improve soil conditions.
Looking Forward
We're committed to maintaining sustainable, efficient, and comprehensive water management programs and finding new approaches to upgrade our existing sites and processes to make the most positive impacts on water quality and supply in areas where we operate globally.
As we pursue the goals in our 2030 plan, we'll continue to map our water use and track trends globally, as well as look for new ways to engage our employees and partners in our water stewardship efforts.
