How We Manage
In addition to focusing on the climate crisis, Şişecam is committed to conserving water, another valuable natural resource that we need to protect on our planet. We meticulously monitor our water consumption to help prevent water-related crises in the regions where we operate. In line with our corporate sustainability vision, Care for Next, we are committed to reducing water consumption and recovering a certain amount on a factory basis. As a result, in 2021, we recycled and reused 8 million m3 of water.
Şişecam aims to obtain 15% of clean water used Group-wide from treated wastewater by 2030.
