cling target for 2020 (year in which the facility will be started up and developed), 20% for 2021 and 30% for 2022; s s awareness initiatives focused onwater consumption at theSIEGL site are also very dynamic: daily water consumption indicators are shared and a maximum target never to be exceeded has been set. The 2018 daily target in m 3 consumed per day was achieved and sometimes even exceeded. These indicators and targets have also been rolled out throughout the workshop on a weekly basis, thereby increasing the accountability of each team and managers; s s at the AEI site, in order to mobilise each employee to achieve our targets, the quantity of water used per kilogram of silk produced is used in the calculation of incentive schemes, alongside production, safety and quality.

In addition, several local actions have been maintained or launched. These actions have delivered practical results, since the division’s ove- rall consumption has been down for several years in relation to its output. Product washing processes were also revised and optimised; these pro- cesses aim to remove excess colour from products and account for 40 to 50% of the printing units’ water consumption.
