||||||||||
| Disclosure Number: 303-1 | Disclosure Title: Interactions with water as a shared resource | Reference/Response: A combination of municipal, wells and surface water are sources for GM’s water withdrawal. Water is critical to automobile production and to building occupants for drinking water and hygiene. Local facility knowledge provides information on water supply impacts for current operations, and we engage in the use of WRI Aqueduct for future forecasting. Risks in current operations are mitigated with alternate supply, working with local utilities, conservation or process water reuse. GM engages with over 300 suppliers through CDP Water Supply Chain and other organizations like AIAG. Company goals were set to continuously improve and reduce intensity from 2010 to 2035 by 35%. Water is integrated into our business plan, and each facility has a target for year-over-year reductions. | ||||||||||
| Disclosure Number: 303-2 | Disclosure Title: Management of water discharge-related impacts | Reference/Response: General Motors maintains an environmental performance criteria document on water pollution control (EPC-003). Within this document, minimum concentration-based performance requirements are defined for wastewater discharge to surface water and for wastewater discharges to external wastewater systems. Where local permit limits are more stringent, those supersede the GM requirements. Where no permit limit is provided, the performance requirements are used. | ||||||||||
| Disclosure Number: 303-3 | Disclosure Title: Water withdrawal | Reference/Response:
GM measures and monitors 100% of our major facilities’ water withdrawals by source using either invoices or meter data on a monthly basis. It is tracked in a global utility database by source, and the data is verified by an independent third party annually. Some small facilities (offices) have water service included in their lease rate, and we do not track the water withdrawal. Our estimate is that this represents less than 1% of our water withdrawal by source, so we measure and monitor 99% of water withdrawal by source. GM identifies water stress using WRI Aqueduct model and internal company knowledge. GM measures and monitors 100% of our water withdrawals by source from water-stressed areas, using either invoices or meter data on a monthly basis. It is tracked in a global utility database by source, and the data is verified by an independent third party annually. See also: Data Center |
||||||||||
| Disclosure Number: 303-4 | Disclosure Title: Water discharge | Reference/Response:
GM sites must have a system in place to identify wastewater generated and discharged by current activities at the site, and as these activities change in the future, sites should also identify any additional potentially contaminated flows from on-site sources. See also: Data Center |
||||||||||
| Disclosure Number: 303-5 | Disclosure Title: Water consumption | Reference/Response:
GM calculates water consumption based on water withdrawal times, an engineering calculation for evaporation of 30%. Using the formula withdrawal minus discharge provides close to zero consumption due to groundwater infiltration at plant sites. GM experiences water stress at three sites in Mexico and two sites in China. We have mitigated the risk by conservation, recycling or reusing wastewater in the manufacturing process. Additionally, at one site in China, the government has provided a backup source of water to mitigate water stress risk. See also: Data Center |
