Given that construction uses large amounts of water, Aldar firmly supports the Government’s commitments to water security and conservation as outlined in the UAE Water Security Strategy 2036. Through Aldar Development and Aldar Investment, we have significant opportunities to drive the adoption of innovative water management as well as water reuse and conservation initiatives across the lifecycle of the spaces we create and manage. Across all Aldar Development projects and sites, we use monthly KPIs to measure and manage water consumption. In Aldar Investment, we use water conservation innovations suitable for each site, so that our existing buildings can continue to provide users with the essential water needed for drinking, washing, cleaning and maintenance and irrigation of green spaces. We carry out regular water risk assessments and quality testing at our residential properties. In our hospitality business, we also carry out swimming pool water tests daily. The Abu Dhabi Sewerage Services Company (ADSSC), which holds three ISO certifications (ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 45001), manages all effluents and converts 98% into recycled water that can be used in irrigation and biosolids, at its state-of-the-art wastewater treatment plant. By 2025, we will achieve a 10% reduction in asset portfolio water intensity against our 2019 baseline
