IBERSOL | Annual Report 2021

Environmental Performance Water The Ibersol Group has been taking measures to reduce water wast- age, given that it is an increasingly scarce and expensive resource. Variation in water consumption: Consumption of water figures for 2021 cover all consumption points. Some measures were adopted to reduce water consumption, such as: - Installation of flow regulators. These are accessories that can be attached to taps and shower heads which replace the usual filter and allow for a flow reduction of over 50%, thereby reducing con- sumption; - Changes to timings and schedules for watering systems in gar- dens; - Implementation of routine tap, lavatory, plumbing, joints, and fit- tings checks to detect required repairs and eliminate leaks. ** Consumption points vary yearly, due to opening and closing of stores, changes in equip- ment and the number of units for which it was possible to obtain the fgures.
