Regensburg, October 19, 2022. Andreas Wolf, CEO of Vitesco Technologies, has become one of the first representatives of the automotive supplier industry to sign the CEO Water Mandate. Under the umbrella of the United Nations Global Compact, the initiative is supported by business leaders from around the world and aims to develop sustainable solutions to the emerging global water crisis.
As a leading international supplier of modern powertrain technologies and electric mobility solutions, Vitesco Technologies also operates sites in water-stressed areas, particularly in Mexico and the USA, and is therefore aware of its special responsibility. As part of its environmental strategy, it strives to continuously improve its sustainability, also with regard to water as a resource.
To achieve this, Vitesco Technologies is primarily pursuing efficiency projects that focus on minimizing water withdrawal and using the resource multiple times. For example, the site in Juarez (Mexico) plans to implement a total of 30 efficiency projects from 2021 to 2024. These range from water conservation for sanitary applications to the use of condensate and rainwater for irrigation and toilet flushing.
In Seguin (USA), there are plans to divert condensate water from air conditioning and ventilation systems to cooling towers in 2022. In addition, the company plans to reuse sludge water from cooling towers as gray water for sanitary facilities and to collect rainwater. This will enable the company to reduce the drinking water it uses from the public water supply.
All Vitesco Technologies sites are consistently and regularly assessed against the World Resources Institute’s updated risk assessment tools. For the corresponding public reporting on water risks, consequences and activities, the CEO Water Mandate provides valuable guidance. Among other things, member companies commit to measuring and monitoring operational water performance. They formulate explicit goals and strategies for water management within the company, promote efficient water use and assess risks and effects on the respective river basin and their value chain.
