  1. Water Scarcity Demography Crop Decline Hunger Coastal Risks Recent Conflicts Major Drivers: Intersection of Climate, Water, Politics DIVERSEY CONFIDENTIAL - DO NOT DISTRIBUTE Source: World Resources Institute

  2. Major Drivers: Environmental Upheaval • Great rivers no longer reach the sea: Indus, Rio Grande, Colorado, Murray-Darling, Yellow 1 • Emerging market consumption of natural resources exceeding population growth 2 • 40% of population living in water stress areas 3 • By 2020, climate warming could cut agriculture production by 17% 4 "China is facing a dire situation in its water supply.” Ma Jun, China Institute of Public & Environmental Affairs, Business Week, 2009 DIVERSEY CONFIDENTIAL - DO NOT DISTRIBUTE 1. Economist, 2009; 2. Freidman, 2008; 3/4. WWF

  3. Water Efficiency Case Studies “Counting every drop… making every drop count”

  4. The Hierarchy of Water Management Recycle Recycle Waste-water that can be cleaned and reused as potable water using best available technology ReUSE Reuse Using waste water that is of sufficient quality for a secondary function or use Conserve The efficient use of water, eliminating overuse, misuse mechanical defects etc. CONSERVE

  5. A Systematic Approach Scan:The high level overview Probe:The detailed audit Solve:Solution delivery PROBE Detailed water balance and target setting SCAN Holistic overview and environmental footprint SOLVE Water efficiency implementation

  6. aquaScan: Benchmarking • Develop historical water use, energy and cost trend analysis • Building Square Feet • Water and Effluent • Oil & Gas (Natural & LPG) • Electricity Gallons • Quantify value streams • Show potential cost savings • Show potential operational efficiencies Building Size

  7. Corporate Benchmark Model WUR Sharing Opportunities Downstream Group WUR 21.42 gallons / GSF Target Group WUR 18.25 gallons / GSF “We can have a greater impact by attacking the group baseline”

  8. aquaProbe – systematic audit Expert systematic water utilization audit conducted • Detailed water balance • Systematic operational overview • Cost and consumption analysis • Baseline data for strategic decisions • Identification of all contamination sources • Creation of solutions project roadmap

  9. Brandywine Project Update • Initial pilot project at 555 Lancaster Ave. Radnor. • Projects identified to the value of $52,000. • Savings came from water, energy and operations.

  10. Case Study: Airline Catering Production Facility

  11. Savings if targeting facilities to best Practice: 26,962,691 gallons: $293,990

  12. Delivering Sustainable Resource Solutions Delivering Sustainable Resource Solutions and working together to make a difference
