Year on year, water consumption and wastewater volumes have fallen by about 30%. This can be attributed to the removal of sites from the statistics, including the water-intensive Osram manufacturing facilities.
We have developed a water strategy directed above all at sites in regions where there is the highest risk of sustainable water supply and good water quality not being guaranteed. In our Serve the Environment program we have set ourselves the goal of reducing the negative consequences of site activities involving water use. Many options are open to us. Water consumption and wastewater loads can be minimized, the risk of pollution by wastewater or substances hazardous to water can be reduced.
