An essential and irreplaceable resource, water plays a pivotal role in our operations. It is used to power our turbines, facilitate slurry pipelines, and irrigate agricultural lands. At TBS, we take on the task of water stewardship as a comprehensive list of actions, focusing not only on utilization but also on preserving overall quality for future generations. Our views and actions on water stewardship extend beyond our immediate operations, encompassing catchment areas in line with international standards. Effective management requires strong engagement with a broad range of stakeholders for catchment-based actions to mitigate risk. This further reflects our holistic commitment to responsible water management across our facilities and operations.

The key steps in managing our water stewardship include:

1. Understanding our water catchment areas, baseline water conditions, and ecosystems;
2. Identifying risks and opportunities in these reservoirs;
3. Reducing our water footprint and implementing thorough water management practices;
4. Monitoring compliance, setting targets, and adjusting practices for further improvement;
5. Engaging various stakeholders and identifying key partners to accelerate water-related programs; and
6. Ensuring transparency in our reporting.
