• Evaluate implications
• Implementing a win-win approach
• Promoting empowered projects
• Incorporate social process in the Corporate
• Management Model

that people are prepared to tolerate to secure
benefits as long as they are informed

Challenge N. 2 Managing Water in a Sustainable
Manner

• Integrate water resources management
• to avoid conflicts

Methodology for Understanding Measure, Mitigate
Compensation

• Water Footprint
• The measurement of Humans appropriation of
  freshwater resources.
• Carbon Footprint
• The measurement of the impact on Green House
  Gasses (GHG) due to our activities (quantified as
  CO2).

Water stress (Water demand higher than
available in Q/Q) Social pressure
Sustainable Water Solutions to Avoid Conflicts
500 litres of fresh water / Ton Oranges
300- 1.000 litres of fresh water / ton Processed
Mineral
Earth needs to produce enough food to feed 8
billion people by 2025 Water demand will increase
by 62

• Benefits of Sustainable Mining Operations

• Financing Financial centers measure impacts,
  not only results associated with a project but
  also in their long- term effects.
• Risk Control Avoiding stopping operations .
• Ethical Business Responsible practices
  enhances
• company
  reputation.
• Innovation Efficiencies in operations,
• products and services.
