WATER USAGE
GRI-303: Water & Effluents

Vast water quantities are used in the sugar refining process. Sustained water management measures have been adopted to
ensure the efficiency of water usage within our operations. The amount of water used and reused in our daily operations are
constantly measured and monitored.

ENERGY OPTIMISATION
