    UNDERSTANDING THE REGIONAL IMPORTANCE OF WATER

    The BASF Group operates globally and must plan its water consumption along the entire value chain according to the respective catchment area. For example, water is used for the manufacture of products, as a coolant and cleaning agent and as a transport route. Against this background, it is therefore an obligation to reduce emissions to water through production processes and to optimize them through the multiple use of water in cycles.

    According to its own statements, the entire BASF Group has adopted the goals of the chemical industry's voluntary Responsible Care initiative. In addition, it is also important for the company to understand water consumption and its effects in the respective regions.

    The topic of sustainability is also important at Covestro. The company is one of the world's leading manufacturers of high-tech polymer materials. Covestro's products and application solutions can be found in many areas of modern life.

    The use of water has many implications for the Group. On the one hand as a solvent for e.g. polyurethane coatings, but also the saving possibilities as well as the reduction of other raw materials in the overall process are important. The company's products can be found, among other things, in textile production. An area that is accompanied by various trends and is subject to continuous change.

    SUSTAINABLE WATER PURIFICATION

    The iWater Group focuses on water purification and offers solutions for various industries. The company's products contribute to the reduction of antibiotics in livestock and pesticides in agriculture. With the global pursuit of prosperity and comfort, the demands placed on water management are also growing. In this context, the prevention and reduction of contamination of waste water and water bodies is of great importance.

    The market for effective and sustainable solutions for water purification is large.

    E.ON, iWater Group, K+S - Water as a safety factor

    • Water

    Clean water is a high social good. In water management, different standards apply to safety depending on the use. For example, the requirements for drinking water supply and wastewater disposal are particularly high, as these areas are part of the critical infrastructure in Germany. In this context, utilities and plant operators are subject to particularly high IT security standards. An impairment caused by a cyber attack could possibly lead to supply bottlenecks and disruptions to public safety.
