Chile receives a substantial amount of water from glaciers in the Andes. Projections indicate a rapid depletion of lower elevation glaciers around the world. This could lead to water shortages in the areas where Goodyear manufacturing plants are located. This also could lead to tightening regulations due to increased water scarcity in the area. While water is not consumed in our products, water shortages in the communities where Goodyear operates could lead to operational issues if sufficient amounts of water are not available for steam generation and cooling.UnknownUnknownUnknownEstablish site-specific targetsGoodyear's response to this strategy includes increasing closed-loop water systems to reduce the overall water intake at the plant.

Goodyear is continuously evaluating whether upgrading systems could effectively save resources by making the systems more efficient to operate. The facility in Chile did not require any capital improvements related to water in 2015.Goodyear monitors the water stress situation for each facility around the world and takes appropriate action when necessary. In general, as part of Goodyear's strategy to conserve and recycle water, almost all facilities, utilize closed-loop cooling systems when water is used for cooling materials and equipment. Systems are also in place to capture and return process water and steam condensate for reuse, reducing the need for additional fresh water. Additionally, Goodyear implemented a water sustainability strategy in 2010 to reduce water use by 15% within a 5-year period. As of 2015, we have exceeded that goal and extended it another 5 years to reduce water use intensity 33% from the baseline. Costs to implement this strategy are included in the annual operating budgets for routine maintenance. Capital expenses are allocated when large system upgrades are needed.

If the current supply and demand rates continue, South Africa’s water resources will be fully utilized by 2025. Water demand in South Africa is projected at 17.7 billion m3 in 2030 with household demand accounting for 34 percent of the total. Against this, current supply in South Africa amounts to 15 billion m3, and it is severely constrained by low rainfall, limited underground aquifers, and reliance on significant water transfers from neighboring countries.

Goodyear South Africa improved water use significantly by adopting a three-fold approach to saving water: The facility recycled waste water from its boiler house, collected and re-used water run-off, and ensured steam condensate from various production processes did not go to waste. The recovered water is either redirected through a newly installed, separate plumbing system to the plant's toilets or used as makeup water for cooling machinery. Water meters have also been installed at all municipal water intake points to monitor water usage and generate additional savings where possible.

Coastal Texas is a relatively flat area with numerous small bayous and creeks. Nearby Houston has had three storms in the past 40 years that exceeded rainfall amounts of 19 inches in 24 hours (the official 500-year flood standard), and has had at least eight storms that exceeded the 100-year flood standard of 13 inches in 24 hours. While water is not consumed in our products, water shortages or flooding in the communities where Goodyear operates could lead to operational issues if sufficient amounts of water are not available for steam generation and cooling.UnknownUnknownUnknownDevelop flood emergency plans; Establish site-specific targets; Promote best practice and awarenessGoodyear's response to this strategy includes increasing closed-loop water systems to reduce the overall water intake at the plant. The costs of this response are unknown until new or updated water systems are installed. Goodyear is continuously evaluating whether upgrading systems could effectively save resources by making the systems more efficient to operate. Currently, the Beaumont facility has a closed-loop system and did not require any capital improvements in 2015.In general, as part of Goodyear's strategy to conserve and recycle water, almost all facilities, including the Beaumont facility, utilize closed-loop cooling systems when water is used for cooling materials and equipment. Systems are also in place to capture and return process water and steam condensate for reuse, reducing the need for additional fresh water. Additionally, Goodyear implemented a water sustainability strategy in 2010 to reduce water use by 15% within a 5-year period. As of 2015, we have exceeded that goal and extended it another 5 years to reduce water use intensity 33% from the baseline. Goodyear monitors the water stress situation for each of our operations around the world and takes appropriate action when necessary. Costs to implement this strategy are included in the annual operating budgets for routine maintenance. Capital expenses are allocated when large system upgrades are needed.

Both these conditions lead to poor water quality. With the ongoing drought conditions in the basin and climate change, water quality could degrade to the point that will affect our operational equipment from washing machines to cooling towers.>6 yearsUnlikelyMediumInfrastructure investment; Infrastructure maintenance; Increased capital expenditure~$1,000,000-$10,000,000 (cost for all sites at risk) would be the cost to install monitoring equipment followed by advanced filtration or more robust operational equipment.Caesars’ has installed monitoring equipment at various sites throughout our portfolio. We will continue to expand our monitoring to determine if there is a risk to our operational equipment. If monitoring shows continued risk Caesars’ will invest in advanced filtration equipment or more robust operational equipment.The cost of strategy is an estimate and was derived based on past facility and operations improvement projects and engineering experience.

Description

CDP's water program motivates companies to disclose and reduce their environmental impacts by using the power of investors and customers. The data CDP collects help influential decision makers to reduce risk, capitalize on opportunities and drive action towards a more sustainable world. This dataset comes from question W3.2c asking companies to list the inherent water risks that could generate a substantive change in their business, operations, revenue or expenditure, the potential impact to their direct operations and the strategies to mitigate them.
