Throughout the year, members of our graduate team have been gathering detailed information about water use from all our quarrying operations. This will allow us to implement improved water monitoring plans and, ultimately, improved consumption reduction plans.
For the first time, we will be able to implement a targeted and prioritised plan of action to reduce our water consumption. We have used a water stress software tool to predict where water shortages within the business could occur by 2030, so these plans will be crucial to ensure we conserve water where possible and reduce the impact on potentially fragile water systems. We will extend these techniques to other areas of the business during 2021; along with improving our procedures to ensure we continue to comply with our legal obligations.
