MARELLI Water Policy
Access to water and sanitation are human rights and critical challenges for sustainability. To date, only 1.2% of water
available on earth is available for human use, and the pressure on this resource will increase as competing demands
for clean fresh water (agriculture, households, energy generation, industrial use, ecosystems) grows. In addition, theeffects of climate change put more pressure on water quality and availability.
Aware of the impacts of water scarcity, water stress, and water risks arising from climate change on businesses andcommunities, MARELLI establishes this policy to cover all MARELLI operations worldwide.
MARELLI BUSINESS DEPENDENCY AND IMPACT ON WATERMARELLI uses water for technology usage (production process as washing, cooling systems, painting equipment, etc)
and for civil usage. MARELLI water usage impacts are water scarcity increase (particularly in the water-stressed area)
and water quality decrease (pollutants in wastewater).
