Our progress
Our long term target is for the business to operate on a Net Positive basis for operational water demand, including demand from our occupied spaces for building services, and for our development activities. Achieving this starts with reducing demand in landlord controlled spaces and also in occupier controlled areas through monitoring and engagement. We also work with stakeholders beyond our value chain to support them in reducing water demand as part of our overall strategy for achieving a net positive position.
