Mitigation and management Our commitment to sustainable water stewardship is guided by a comprehensive water conservation strategy, which drives the efficient and responsible use of water resources across our operations through: • Actively seeking opportunities to avoid unnecessary water use and applying reduce, reuse and recycle principles • Using non-freshwater alternatives, including treated wastewater, wherever feasible for irrigation, dust control and fracking liquids • Deploying innovative technologies and water management solutions • Supporting safe wastewater discharge through deep disposal wells and reinjecting produced water into reservoirs • Avoiding all surface discharge of process effluents to the desert environment We actively monitor water use across our operations, tracking withdrawals, use and reuse, and groundwater recharge rates to inform current and future demand. In 2025, we began digitizing centralized water data . This project will provide clearer visibility into water flows, and unlock opportunities to increase water reuse, reduce water intensity and strengthen conservation.
