Kern der Offenlegung
E3-4 reports six metrics for own operations: total water consumption, total water consumption in areas with water stress, total water withdrawal, total water discharge, total water recycled and reused, and total water stored.
Each metric is reported in cubic metres or multiples thereof. Water consumption, withdrawal and discharge are distinct defined concepts; water use is not a substitute for water consumption.
Recycled and reused water form one required combined metric. Separate recycling and reuse figures may be added as entity-specific information but must not replace the combined total.
