ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY4 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2 4 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2 4.5 UR WASTE AND WATER MANAGEMENT CONTINUED Dealing with water risks GRI 3-3, 3-5 | SDG 6.4 The business has assessed the risk of water scarcity for our operations and thisissue has been considered as part of our broader climate-related risk review. The results showed that production sites in China and India are located in areas with high to extreme groundwater stress. Groundwater stress measures the ratio of total water extraction to the available renewable surface and groundwater supply. Therefore, weinvested in new scrap and chip treatment building in China outside the potential flooding zone to protect groundwater and the nearby river. In Chennai, India, we invested inanew effluent treatment for our waterrecycling. At the production sites in China and India, water extraction rose by 1% and 1% year on year to 2 and 1 megaliter
