Water management
Mission Critical
Water scarcity and declining water quality will have an affect on Danisco’s business in the future. We are already seeing more stringent regulations as well as higher costs for water supply and external treatment of wastewater.
Finding ways to decrease water use and the need for wastewater treatment in our own operations will reduce our water-related expenses and environmental impacts, but we are also committed to developing new products that help our customers reduce their water dependency.

Water reduction status
Danisco’s overall water consumption declined by 27% during the 2009/10 reporting period, as compared with 2007 baseline values. The total water consumption per tonne of product has decreased by 30%.
This impressive reduction exceed our 2010 target of a 5% reduction per tonne product.
Read about how we achieved this water usage reduction in our report.
Water reduction outlook
In 2010, we are continuing our water reduction efforts, development of our water strategy and working to design and establish ambitious water reduction programmes.
We plan to drive a 20% reduction per revenue by 2020 with 2009/10 as baseline.
