How We Conserve Water at Centrient
Water is a vital resource for pharmaceutical manufacturing—used in everything from production processes to cleaning and cooling. As global water scarcity intensifies, companies in our sector have a responsibility to manage water wisely, not only to protect the environment but also to ensure operational continuity and supply chain resilience. That’s why water stewardship—including reducing water consumption, improving water quality, and promoting reuse—is a critical part of sustainable business.
Responsible water use protects both a precious resource and the resilience of our business. As such, Centrient prides itself on its water stewardship practices, guided by the water targets set out in its ESG Strategy 2021–2030.
In addition to our water-related targets, Centrient has robust procedures and initiatives in place to encourage responsible water stewardship across all our manufacturing sites.
We also actively seek opportunities for water reuse and recycling, and continually review our water usage with the goal of reducing overall consumption and strengthening our environmental impact.
