Structuring and planning for managing the Water strategy through the Environmental Profit & Loss tool. We will seek to understand the impact of our activities on water consumption and pollution, including a study of the impact of plastic packaging on rivers and seas.
The EP&L tool has been used in previous years. In 2020, we started the engagement and structuring process to integrate the tool into business decisions, as well as to expand its use in other areas of the company. Regarding the Water theme, the evolution and inclusion of the study of the impact of plastic packaging on water resources.
The EP&L is an impact valuation tool, therefore the output of the tool is monetary. We are still studying whether the metrics are relative, absolute or both, in order to complement each other.
Monitoring of monthly and annual targets for relative and absolute consumption of water at Natura sites is maintained.
