Amid growing water scarcity across the globe, El Puerto de Liverpool knows how important conscious stewardship of the precious resources is. We have begun to develop a series of strategies and policies that will minimize our impact on water resources, an expression of our firm commitment and sense of responsibility that makes comprehensive water management an essential part of our core activities.
One of the main problems involving this resource is water stress, defined as a situation in which the demand for water exceeds the amount available.
In 2023, El Puerto de Liverpool withdrew a total of 2,122.1 megaliters of water from areas with some degree of water stress, according to the Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas. Out of our total volume of water withdrawals, 18.07% were taken in low water stress areas, 20.13% in high water stress areas and 54.07% in extremely high water stress areas. El Puerto is already working on various strategies and goals for reducing our impact on this resource.
El Puerto de Liverpool aims to achieve a water balance by the year 2040. Our current efforts are aimed at:
In pursuit of these goals, we currently have wastewater treatment plants (WWTP), some of which we own and some are operated by other companies, which treat 454,000 m³ of water each year . 18.87% of our water consumption is treated and used in sanitary facilities, watering green areas and washing parking lots.
We have also set up a pilot rainwater capture system at the Santa Anita Shopping Center, which uses about 1,800 m3.
