Ecolab’s Istanbul, Turkey, Plant
水资源管理联盟(AWS)案例分析
Published November 2025
洞察力
作为水资源解决方案和服务领域的全球领导者,艺康始终致力于通过智能水资源管理和保护,创造一个水安全更有保障的未来。我们计划到2030年通过以下方式实现对水资源的净正面影响:
- 在运营厂区减少用水、循环用水及补充用水。我们的目标是在2018基准年的基础上,将全企业单位产量的水资源影响减少40%。
- 在高风险厂区回补超过50%的绝对取水量,保护当地流域。。
- 位于高风险流域的艺康生产工厂获得水资源管理联盟(AWS)认证,实现了AWS标准的成果。
Ecolab's manufacturing facility, located in Istanbul, Turkey, is a key contributor to these goals. The Istanbul plant is a blend plant that primarily produces industrial cleaning, sanitizing chemicals, and water treatment chemicals. Ecolab's Istanbul plant uses municipal water sourced from Ömerli Dam Lake in the Marmara basin.
Ecolab's Istanbul facility is situated in the Marmara basin. The site treats its water to meet the necessary standards before releasing it into the municipal sewer system. Afterwards, this water travels to the Tuzla Wastewater Treatment Plant, where it undergoes further processing before being discharged into the Marmara Sea through deep-sea pipelines.
措施
为了实现艺康的企业用水目标,当地团队的目标是到2030年将每吨产品的年用水量相比2018年减少40%。
以下项目有助于改善工厂的水平衡,并且已经实施以减少总体用水量:
- Optimizing the reverse osmosis system by integrating a secondary unit that repurposes reject water from the primary unit, thereby reducing wash frequency.
- Minimizing changeovers and production wash cycles through collaboration with the planning team.
- Installing a mechanical sensor to eliminate flooding in the cooling towers.
成果
As a result of these actions, the Istanbul plant achieved savings in water and energy use. 事实证明,该工厂所做的改进向加强工厂运营和推进艺康的可持续发展目标迈出了有益的一步。
为了改善当地流域的整体健康状况,同时作为艺康创造2030年积极影响的努力的一部分,我们已优先在我们开展运营的高风险流域中获得AWS认证。
水资源管理征途
艺康致力于在我们的设施中实现可持续的用水,并在地方层面与其他企业开展合作。 In alignment with Ecolab's commitment to a holistic approach to water management across its manufacturing facilities, the company is pursuing the Core Certification for Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS) Version 2.0 International Water Standard at its Istanbul facility. 该工厂在寻求核心认证的同时,一直遵守最新的AWS要求。
To identify shared water challenges in the basin, a comprehensive risk assessment was performed leveraging insights from Ecolab’s Smart Water Navigator, and the World Resources Institute (WRI) Aqueduct Atlas to identify shared and site-level water challenges.
艺康的水资源管理方法旨在对我们的运营以及运营所在社区的水资源挑战产生积极影响。 Primary shared challenges between the plant and relevant local stakeholders include water scarcity, water quality due to pollution and untreated sewage, aging and inefficient infrastructure and ineffective water management and policy issues.
为了有效应对这些挑战,艺康的水资源管理方法包括推进实现AWS标准所列的五项成果。 Ecolab strives for continuous improvement in the site's water balance and water quality. Beyond our operations, our comprehensive strategy includes a focus on regional important water related areas (IWRA) and Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH). Continued progress across these key focus areas depends on robust water governance across the site and enterprise operations.
可持续的水平衡
净正面水影响
在我们自己的运营中采用可持续的水平衡和智能水管理方法,是实现本地化净正面水影响的关键组成部分。根据企业目标,当地团队的目标是到2030年,将工厂每吨产品的年用水量相比2018年减少40%。 The team at Ecolab's Istanbul plant assessed the facility for opportunities to decrease water use across operations to meet Ecolab's targets to create 2030 Positive Impact.根据风险概率以及对工厂层面和社区利益相关者的影响,优先实施减少取水项目。
水质
水质管理方法
To maintain good water quality of both process water and wastewater, daily internal water testing is conducted to ensure that both process and wastewater meet quality standards. Additionally, suppliers test the drinking water each time it is purchased. Water treatment removes colloids, sediment, and other hazards from wastewater.
In the event of a spill or water-related problem, the site follows a comprehensive incident response plan, including root cause analysis, leadership team review, thorough documentation on an internal reporting platform, and sharing of mitigation strategies during daily site meetings. 工厂与水相关的合规信息可应要求提供。
水治理
水治理方法
At the plant level, the Safety, Health and Environmental (SHE) department is responsible for wastewater compliance, with the SHE Leader ultimately responsible and plant manager accountable. 公司环境主管可就最新法规和废水合规性提供咨询服务。 Additionally, the SHE Leader is responsible for water monitoring requirements, per Ecolab's Internal Global Supply Chain environmental policy and any applicable external regulations.此外,艺康的CDP报告披露了任何违规行为和相关纠正措施。
在公司层面,公司可持续发展团队由可持续发展执行顾问团队(SEAT)提供指导和建议,该团队由公司最高级别的业务和部门领导组成。 In addition, Ecolab’s Sustainability, Water Stewardship, and Safety, Health and Environment (SHE) positions are publicly available and serve as commitments to and guidance on water-related issues and compliance.艺康的可持续发展立场正式确定了艺康在公司内部对可持续发展及其对客户的影响的全球承诺。艺康的水资源管理立场加强了艺康对负责任的水资源管理的全球承诺,为公司及其客户寻找以有利于企业、社区和自然的方式使用水资源的机会。艺康的SHE立场概述了公司致力于在全球运营中追求卓越的安全、健康和环境实践与绩效。
重要水相关领域(IWRA)
水、公共卫生与个人卫生(WASH)
集体行动
In addition to internal operational improvements, Ecolab's Istanbul facility's external water stewardship activities are ongoing. To address these shared issues, the Istanbul facility has started developing community partnerships through stakeholder outreach, seeking collaboration with other water users in the basin.
工厂内的艺康员工持续参与社区内的集体行动。 In 2025, employees in the Istanbul facility participated in a river cleanup. The facility also joined a sustainability class at Sabancı University, discussing sustainability, new technologies, and ideas for a cleaner future with graduate and post-graduate students. Additionally, the site is forming a panel with government and local companies to improve community water use and possibly leading a hygiene education event for nearby schoolchildren.
On top of local water stewardship efforts, Ecolab’s global giving program, Solutions for Life, enhances the company’s mission to conserve and protect freshwater through partnerships and additional projects with The Nature Conservancy and the Project WET Foundation.
