High-impact projects reduce water use at two sites
A responsible water management where we source and operate, particularly in water stress areas is essential to our production activities.
In 2025, we advanced this commitment through two high-impact water-reduction projects.
Our water-reduction project in Cimanggis
In Cimanggis, Indonesia, we targeted a reduction in the use of municipal water through the collection of rainwater from the rooftops of utility building and warehouse. The team also constructed a water recycle installation consisting of carbon bed and filtration equipment to reuse water from our processes that was previously discharged. They surpassed their initial goal of reducing annual water consumption, achieving savings of 24,450 cubic meters, which is equivalent to the annual water use of approximately 178 households (based on the global average consumption of 138 m³ per household per year).
Our water-reduction project in Daman
In Daman, India, improvements in Clean-in-Place (CIP) practices helped reduce water consumption per tonne of production. CIP, refers to the process of cleaning equipment without removing or disassembling any parts. These systems run cleaning, rinsing, and sanitising solutions through the same piping path used for production, ensuring all internal surfaces are thoroughly cleaned.
We have reduced the water consumption of these cleaning cycles. Besides, seeking ways to make cleaning practices more sustainable, the local team explored a method that eliminates water use by applying dry cleaning. They also introduced a high‑pressure jet pump for manual cleaning practices, enabling effective cleaning while lowering water consumption and minimising wastage. Thanks to these combined strategies, and despite a 14% increase in production volume, the team achieved a 2% reduction in absolute water consumption.
Our efforts in Indonesia and India show how we are working hard to champion water stewardship and encourage the sustainable use of water resources.
