consumption and limiting leakage. On a Group level, stores are
gradually adopting solutions to limit consumption, such as
water-saving taps, motion-detection taps or water-free urinals, and
systems for collecting and recycling rainwater for non-drinking use – a
solution that could reduce a hypermarket’s consumption by 10%.

major pollutants. Wastewater treatment and recycling systems have
been introduced in some countries.
