From 2019-2021, we saved over 82 million gallons of water due to a combination of best management practices and capital expenditure projects in our facilities. For example, our Sisa, Mexico plant made several facility water improvements during the reporting period, including modifications to multiple pieces of equipment to recover process water and rainwater. These efforts enabled the Sisa plant to reduce process water usage from 0.98 to 0.68 m3/tons in one year alone. The facility is also active in ecological restoration, which it carries out annually on the land that has been exploited, to regenerate the conditions of flora and fauna through the planting of native plants.
