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%。艺康格林斯伯勒工厂的团队定期对工厂进行评估，确定整个运营过程中减少用水量的机会，以实现艺康创造2030积极影响的目标。根据风险概率以及对工厂和社区利益相关者的影响，确定实施节水项目的优先次序。

水质管理方法

To maintain good water quality for both process water and wastewater, wastewater is tested every six to 12 months, aligned with permit requirements. 雨水每季度通过解析分析和目视检查进行检测。 Additionally, the facility has a spill prevention, control and countermeasures (SPCC) policy, which includes informal inspections of oil drums and bulk storage tanks conducted by operating personnel on a daily basis when the facility is operational. Formal inspections of the facility, including oil storage containers, are conducted on a monthly basis.

Prior to draining stormwater and discharging wastewater, facilities must visually inspect and test the effluent to confirm that it meets the local environmental requirements, permit limits or company standards. If there are no local environmental requirements or permit limits, company standards must be met for stormwater discharge into an adjacent waterway or wastewater effluent into a city sewer system. If a spill or water-related issue were to occur, the site has a robust incident response plan that includes a root cause analysis of the original incident, documentation in an internal reporting platform and communication of mitigation strategies. 工厂与水相关的合规信息可应要求提供。

水治理方法

At the plant level, the Safety, Health and Environment (SHE) department is responsible for wastewater compliance, with the SHE manager 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。可应要求提供与工厂水源有关的合规信息，包括工厂为防止今后发生类似情况而采取的必要纠正措施。此外，艺康的CDP报告披露了任何违规行为和相关纠正措施。

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立了艺康对公司内部的可持续发展及其对客户影响的全球承诺。艺康的水资源管理立场通过为公司及其客户寻找以有利于企业、社区和大自然的方式利用水资源的机会，强化了艺康对负责任的水资源管理的全球承诺。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。
