The company has received a leadership rating (A-) in water safety, a recognition that only 4% of the companies in its sector have achieved.
Cepsa consolidates its position as a global leader in its sector in water and climate management for the fourth consecutive year, according to the international rating agency CDP. The company has achieved an A- rating, the highest global score in the integrated oil & gas sector, and has acquired the category of “leadership” in water safety, a recognition that only 4% of the companies in its sector have achieved. Cepsa has also been recognised as an industry leader in climate change, consolidating its position among the 18% of companies in the sector that have achieved this recognition.
The non-profit organisation CDP has analysed the performance of more than 23,000 companies from all sectors and countries, making it the world’s leading environmental information platform. Among the 4815 companies it has assessed in the area of water, Cepsa has obtained a score above the European average (C) and the average for its sector (B-), standing out in terms of positive business impacts, water consumption and corporate policies developed in terms of water resource management. In this regard, the company aims to reduce freshwater withdrawal in water-stressed areas by 20% by 2025, compared to its use in 2019. This decision, which is one of the most ambitious in the energy sector on an international scale, will mean a saving of more than 3 million cubic metres of fresh water per year.
The company is also promoting initiatives to reduce its freshwater consumption, such as the improvement project at the liquid effluent treatment plant at the La Rábida Energy Park (Huelva), to save 7% of the water extracted annually by this facility.
