The criticality of water supply has resulted in further ambitions for our operational sites in relation to water scarcity, water stress and water risk activities to be undertaken; culminating in comprehensive water management plans for the 174 sites identified with Hanson UK operations.
Our water and land use advisor is overseeing the work at all sites to improve our monitoring, digital recording, and reporting of water data. All our active sites had a water monitoring plan completed in 2022 and these form part of the overall water management plans which serve as a record of how water is being used and measured on site; identify opportunities to reduce, reuse and recycle water; assess any risks to local water systems; and produce actions to be carried out to improve our water efficiency in line with our 2030 commitments.
Additionally, the plans will include engagement with local stakeholders in identifying how our water resources can be utilised most efficiently, as well as ensuring we are managing our water abstractions and discharges in a responsible manner.
