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.
