We&rsquo;ve found opportunities in our supply chain and product development areas to realize our water conservation goals while also reducing costs, distinguishing our brands, meeting consumers&rsquo; needs and growing our business. As we move forward on our water stewardship journey, our strategic focus will be to complete localized risk assessments and create action plans that reflect the risks and issues unique to watersheds supporting the areas where we operate. For the good of our communities, our stakeholders and our business, we continue to ensure all our facilities are managing their water use responsibly and seeking further efficiency gains.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section id=\"custom-block-3\" class=\"text-section-block mobile-pt-48px mobile-pb-0px desktop-pt-88px desktop-pb-0px\" style=\"background-color: ;\">\n    <div class=\"text-section-block__wrapper\">\n                            <h2 class=\"text-section__title desktop\">\n                Our goals\n            <\/h2>\n            <h3 class=\"text-section__title mobile\">\n                Our goals\n            <\/h3>\n        \n                    <div class=\"text-section__body paragraph\">\n                <div class=\"inspect_panels--copyableRow--2_PiZ inspect_panels--highlightRow--21P9S\">\n<div class=\"inspect_panels--propertyRowContent--7Y-mu inspect_panels--copyableRow--2_PiZ inspect_panels--highlightRow--21P9S\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\"inspect_panels--contentProperty--2Z1QI text--fontPos11--RSei3 text--_fontBase--YWDo0 ellipsis--ellipsisAfter8Lines--2rn32 ellipsis--_ellipsisAfterNLines--26JkZ\">Drive continued water efficiency improvements that achieve or exceed our target of 1.68 gallons of water per case or product sold, our 2018 baseline levels.<\/li>\n<li class=\"inspect_panels--contentProperty--2Z1QI text--fontPos11--RSei3 text--_fontBase--YWDo0 ellipsis--ellipsisAfter8Lines--2rn32 ellipsis--_ellipsisAfterNLines--26JkZ\"><span class=\"TextRun SCXW174811607 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW174811607 BCX0\">Advance a more localized approach to water stewardship in high or extremely high baseline water stress areas.<\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW174811607 BCX0\" data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:2,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:330}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"custom-block-4\" class=\"accordion js-accordion-block mobile-pt-24px mobile-pb-0px desktop-pt-40px desktop-pb-0px\">\n            <div class=\"item\" data-collapsed=\"true\">\n            <button class=\"toggler js-accordion-button\">\n                <span>Our performance<\/span>\n                <svg viewBox=\"0 0 7 4\"><path d=\"M6.07031 0.289062L6.77344 0.992188L3.77344 3.99219L0.773438 0.992188L1.47656 0.289062L3.77344 2.58594L6.07031 0.289062Z\" fill=\"currentColor\" \/><\/svg>\n            <\/button>\n            <div class=\"content\">\n                <div><p><span class=\"TextRun SCXW232801334 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW232801334 BCX0\" data-ccp-parastyle=\"Normal (Web)\">Between 2007 and 2018, we reduced our water consumption <\/span><\/span><span class=\"TextRun SCXW232801334 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW232801334 BCX0\" data-ccp-parastyle=\"Normal (Web)\">36% on an intensity basis (per case of product sold) and 20% on an absolute basis.
