WATER AND EFFLUENTS
GRI 303-1, GRI 303-2, GRI 303-3, GRI 303-5
IHARA's absolute water consumption in 2020 was
149.66 m³. The company's water supply was mainly
guaranteed by surface catchment (60.4%), followed by
underground catchment (34%), with a small share of
the municipal supply network (4.5%).
The groundwater efficiency indicator is m³/ton pro-
duced and the index excludes the volume of ground-
water incorporated in the products. In 2020, IHARA
reduced consumption by 18% compared to 2019, as a
result of the improvement of the monitoring process
and consumption reduction projects.

MATERIALS AND WASTE
GRI 301-1, GRI 306-3, GRI 306-5
IHARA controls and manages waste by origin, type and
destination, always focusing on the 3 R's of sustain-
ability.
The waste management indicator is tons of waste gen-
erated/ton produced and in 2020, IHARA reduced its
waste generation by 18% compared to 2019, exceeding
the annual reduction target of 5%.
Waste is segregated, quantified and disposed of in ac-
cordance with the standards and the best treatment
technologies.
