Looking forward to 2023 In 2023, we will set water reduction targets companywide and will work closely with our manufacturing sites to preserve this important and critical resource. HIGHLIGHT Stormwater collection & water recycling in Auckland, New Zealand Our manufacturing facility in Auckland (New Zealand), uses water to produce our Tanalith C Oxide product. In 2022, we increased the amount of stormwater and recycled water to decrease our use of industrial water from the local town supply. Stormwater within our site is captured and led through an underground sand filtration system before being transferred to two storage tanks within our facility grounds. Equally, water used in our onsite laboratory and for washing up, for example, is captured and diverted to a wastewater tank to be recycled for use in our Tanalith C Oxide production process. While these systems have been in place for a few years, we increased our focus on using stormwater and recycled water in 2022, using in total, 581,509 liters with a record amount of 79,764 liters of stormwater in August 2022. Our stormwater and recycled water contributed 34% of our water needs for the Tanalith C Oxide production process, which is more than double the amount used only two years ago in 2020.
