In light of the growing water shortage, at El Puerto de Liverpool we recognize the importance of implementing proper water management; therefore, we have begun to develop a series of strategies and policies aimed at minimizing our impact on water resources. Through this, we demonstrate our firm commitment and sense of responsibility toward this resource, therefore, an approach to integrated water management is essential to our core activities.
One of the main issues related to this resource is water stress, which is defined as a situation in which water demand exceeds the available supply.
In 2024, El Puerto de Liverpool withdrew a total of 2,170.55 megaliters of water from areas experiencing some degree of water stress, according to the AQUEDUCT Water Risk Atlas. The distribution of water withdrawals ranged from 15.1% in areas with low water stress to 18.1% in areas with high water stress and 56.3% in areas with extremely high water stress, relative to the total volume withdrawn. In light of this, El Puerto has developed various strategies and goals that will enable us to reduce our impact on this resource.
By 2040, within the Port of Liverpool, we aim to achieve water balance. That is why we are stepping up our efforts in:
In our efforts to achieve these goals, we currently operate our own and third-party wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), which have enabled us to use 735,000 m³ of treated water. Twenty-five percent of our water consumption consists of treated water that is reused for toilets, irrigation of green spaces, and washing parking lots. Similarly, we have also begun and continued to implement rainwater harvesting systems at various business centers, capturing approximately 9,600 m³. Additionally, we achieved savings of approximately 8,968 m³ of drinking water by replacing high-consumption plumbing fixtures with low-consumption ones.
