Water

Water stress in Mexico is a growing problem, according to figures reported by CONAGUA in 2018, the categories of water stress are distributed as follows:

Operations near water stressed areas

Aware of the national problem and considering that a large part of our operations are located in regions with high degrees of water stress, we have taken measures to promote the efficient use, reuse and treatment of wastewater from our operations.

Such actions not only preserve an invaluable natural resource, but also help reduce our operational costs and prevent maintenance costs.

Currently our water consumption is distributed as follows:

Water Extraction

Our strategy to efficiently use this resource, includes the following activities:

More detailed monitoring and measurement of consumption, since what is not measured cannot be improved.
Leak detection and control.
Installation of efficient, low-consumption plumbing fixtures, including toilets,urinals, and faucets.
Irrigation during nighttime hours to avoid evaporation.
Wastewater analysis.
Increasing the percentage of operational water treatment plants within our properties. We currently operate 56 wastewater treatment plants across our portfolio.
Treatment and reuse of rainwater and greywater whenever feasible.
In addition, certifications such as EDGE and LEED support the validation and verification of the water consumption reduction measures implemented in our properties.

Water intensity

63.8% reduction in water intensity

*Includes the properties over which FUNO® has operational control.

Water Efficiency Programs

Water efficiency programs in place	Percentage of portfolio covered (under operational control)	Estimated Savings (m ³)
Water meters available to tenants	55%	---
On-site waste water treatment	40%	580,570.12
High-efficiency fixtures	41%	---
Reuse storm and grey water	19%	270,011.93

Striving for resilience

We currently operate 66 treatment plants within our properties. The treated water complies with applicable national regulations, is continuously monitored, and is used for irrigation, injected into the subsoil, or discharged back into the municipal drainage system.

At FUNO, we are committed to incorporating state-of-the-art technology into our properties to ensure the most efficient use of resources. In our maintenance and improvement activities, we prioritize properties with intensive water use, thereby ensuring that our conservation efforts generate the greatest positive impact on this resource.

We also verify that wastewater discharges comply with applicable laws and do not harm ecosystems or negatively affect surrounding communities.
