Water Consumption
Water consumption reduction continued to be an area of focus
for Westfield Corporation in 2017. Our Total Water Consumption
decreased by 41% between 2016 and 2017.
The large decrease in water consumption in 2017 is a result of
increased water management through fixing water leaks occuring
in 2016 and systems such as the Hydropoint Watercompass
program.
Across our US portfolio, 2017 Total Water Consumption decreased
by 66% due to the identification and maintenance of water leaks.
