Focused on Available Fresh Water to Support a Sustainable World

In locations with both significant baseline water stress and stress could result in a material risk to the business, we intend to monitor and set targets for:

Target 2
Percent of operations with context-based water targets set
Target 3
Percent of water consumption from water recycling/reuse or rainwater harvesting, where local conditions allow
