Water consumption pertains to production units. Wastewater refers to the water used in a production process. The difference between water intake and discharge comprises the water not used in a production process and evaporation from cooling and has therefore not been reported as process wastewater. Reported intake and discharge pertain exclusively to freshwater. No wastewater is discharged into the sea, discharged into groundwater or sent to third parties for use. Accordingly, reported wastewater is assumed to be exclusively returned to the recipient as surface water. Consumption reported in water stressed areas refers to use at production units in areas classified as having high or extremely high water stress during the mapping conducted in 2024 using the Aqueduct water tool from the World Resources Institute (WRI).
