2020 Sustainability Report

51 Water Over 80% of our water consumption is at the Bützberg site. This is due partly to the com- pany Galtec AG, which has been renting plant 3 since 2017, and partly to wood-drying processes and irrigation systems, use of which varies depending on our operations and the weather respectively. Our reduced use of the wood-drying equipment due to the corona- virus pandemic resulted in a fall of 36.6% in our water consumption in 2020 compared with 2019. At Girsberger GmbH in Endingen, despite the construction of the new warehouse, the increased consumption was an acceptable 9.2% in 2020.
