Water stewardship

Water is vital to life on earth. Working in partnership with our stakeholders, we are committed to adopting water stewardship practices, 为解决澳门葡京赌博游戏业务所依赖的河流流域共同面临的水资源挑战做出积极贡献.

澳门葡京赌博游戏的业务需要获得清洁和充足的水来开发和制造改变生活的药物. From the production of raw materials to manufacturing processes, including cooling and equipment cleaning, through to patient use, freshwater is used across our value chain.

Our Water Stewardship strategy is embedded within Natural resources, one of our Environmental Protection focus areas.

澳门葡京赌博游戏的方法

We recognise that our operations can have adverse impacts on water resources. To minimise these impacts and to use water responsibly, 澳门葡京赌博游戏在整个业务中都采取了旨在为澳门葡京赌博游戏的业务保护这种自然资源的举措, 澳门葡京赌博游戏的员工, local communities, and the ecosystems on which they depend:

• Across AstraZeneca sites: Decoupling water demand from business growth with our 2015–2025 water efficiency key performance indicators; working to link performance targets with the local context by setting site-specific water targets
• In drug development: Adopting Resource Efficiency Targets to reduce the water demand in drug development; conducting Life Cycle assessments (LCAs) to calculate the water footprint across the whole product life cycle including the raw materials used to make the drug substance. 详见 Product environmental stewardship
• Maintaining Water Quality: Preventing pollution by applying, 评估, and reporting compliance against safe discharge targets for Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) produced or formulated by our manufacturing operations; ensuring water quality is not compromised through patient use of products through environmental risk assessments and reporting via our EcoPharmacoVigilence Dashboard. 详见 Pharmaceuticals in the environment (PIE)
• In our supply chain: 为已确定的关键天然原材料制定行动计划，并建立基于风险的方法，以评估额外的新材料和现有材料对自然的影响和依赖，并与负责任的采购框架联系起来
• In the communities where we operate: Developing partnerships to drive collective action in river basins, 澳门葡京赌博游戏承诺每年投入500万美元用于自然恢复和水资源管理

在全球专家的支持下，澳门葡京赌博游戏继续加强对澳门葡京赌博游戏网络和供应链中各个地点的当地水环境的了解.

• The WWF Water Risk Filter 工具 identifies and evaluates water risks around the world, which helps us prioritise where to take action across our value chain. Our ongoing partnership with WWF supports our water stewardship strategy. 澳门葡京赌博游戏正在将共同的重点转向促进与水有关的机会，并扩大澳门葡京赌博游戏整个部门的集体行动
• As members of the Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS) we support a global movement to advance good water stewardship practices. Together with other AWS members, 澳门葡京赌博游戏在班加罗尔和金奈的工厂正在支持水管理联盟(AWS)的第一阶段。 Impact Accelerator programme.
• 澳门葡京赌博游戏还努力将新兴的最佳实践融入到澳门葡京赌博游戏自己的运营和整个供应链中, for example using 工具s and guidance that Science Based Targets for Nature (SBTN) is developing, to set long-term, 到2025年，根据当地情况制定以科学为主导的水和生物多样性目标

Business Leaders’ Open Call for Accelerating Action on Water

澳门葡京赌博游戏支持 Open Call for Water Action 实现到2030年使至少100个缺水盆地受益的集体积极水资源影响. 澳门葡京赌博游戏致力于在全球运营和供应链中建立抗水能力, and working collaboratively across sectors to accelerate positive water impact.

Diagnosing current and future water risks facing the pharmaceutical sector

通过澳门葡京赌博游戏与世界自然基金会瑞典分会的持续合作, 澳门葡京赌博游戏支持 sector-level water risk assessment of the global pharmaceutical supply chain and published a case study on using scenarios to assess future climater-related risks. Further actions we have taken include:

• Leading with stewardship rather than management: 将水资源管理作为水资源的默认框架，可以使企业更好地与他人合作，寻找解决这些外部水相关风险的办法. 澳门葡京赌博游戏正在建立对共同的水资源挑战的理解，并在关键地点制定适合当地的水资源目标.
• 从战略上更全面地解决整个价值链的水质问题: 全球水质恶化可能会促使公众期望对环境中的原料药采取行动, regardless of their source. 在公共和私营部门专家合作的多学科联盟中，澳门葡京赌博游戏领导IMI-PREMIER合作, which aims to identify 工具s to address the environmental risks of pharmaceuticals, including aquatic habitats.
• Understanding raw material water-related risks: 而在药品生产中使用的原材料的数量被认为是相对较小的, links to water intensive sectors such as mining and agriculture, 意味着价值链中原材料部分的水相关风险可能不会那么小. We’re taking steps to understand risks deep within our supply chain. This case study on 评估 water risks of commodities 说明澳门葡京赌博游戏如何与世界自然基金会合作，了解与生产澳门葡京赌博游戏许多产品的两种具有重要战略意义的商品-钯和棕榈油-有关的与水有关的风险.
• Collectively responding to shared water challenges in priority basins: 共同面临的水资源挑战既代表着潜在的风险，也代表着该部门在寻找解决方案方面发挥领导作用的机会，为该部门和周边社区创造利益. In 2021, 澳门葡京赌博游戏推行了一项水资源管理试点计划，以加深澳门葡京赌博游戏对营运所在流域所面临的水资源风险的认识, as well as what actions to prioritise to mitigate these risks. The pilot is focused on efficient water use within the boundaries of our sites, along with water quality and collective action opportunities in the local basin. We are prioritising six key sites in water-scarce areas across five countries, sites which face increasing availability and quality risks. 共同面临的水资源挑战代表着该部门在寻找解决方案方面发挥领导作用的潜在风险和机遇，为该部门和周边社区创造利益.
