Agricultural supply chains require appropriate levels of water and any stress or scarcity can impact yields, quality, and overall supply. Further, the prices of these commodities, agricultural products, and other materials are subject to volatility and can fluctuate due to conditions that are difficult to predict, including weather and natural disasters.UnknownUnknownUnknownOther: Multiple items notedCosts are proprietary information.We utilize forward contracts and commodity futures and option contracts to manage commodity price volatility in some instances. In addition, most of the raw materials that we use for our products have multiple regions or origins of supply, which we can use as alternate sources of supply. We also work closely with our suppliers and other multi-stakeholder organizations on initiatives to address sustainability issues, including water concerns.

The results identified hardware assembly as among the most water intensive commodity manufacturing processes. Water shortages as well as water quality concerns have the potential to impact the current business model in several ways. Regional water scarcity has the potential to influence current key manufacturing areas, forcing a relocation of supplier operations. An increased cost of water due to water scarcity would impact the cost of doing business, and could have drastic effects on the supply chain and market as a whole. Regulatory uncertainty is associated with similar risks.>6 yearsProbableMedium-highEngagement with suppliers; Establish site-specific targets; Water management incentivesThe cost of engagement with suppliers and providing water management incentives is about $35,000HP Co.’s strategy is to encourage transparency, accountability, and performance improvement throughout our supply chain. To enhance our understanding of the issue and help provide a clearer picture of corporate water use, we participate in CDP’s (formerly known as Carbon Disclosure Project) water disclosure initiative. We also encourage supplier participation in the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) environmental reporting program and/or CDP, including estimated water usage. The EICC program gathers data on suppliers’ water strategy/policy, reduction targets and goals, usage, recycling and re-use efforts, use type, treatment, discharge, regional standards, seasonal droughts, scarcity, flooding, and best practices. In our most recent reporting year, 2014, HP Co. gathered data from 95% of suppliers by spend. Of these suppliers, 73% reported water metrics and 71% reported the use of a water goal. Supply chain carbon emissions and water use reporting represents an initial step in a long-term program. We are working to standardize tools and methodologies to facilitate consistent, reliable, and comparable reporting among suppliers and establish a robust process throughout HP Co.’s supply chain. The Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs (IPE), an influential Chinese environmental nongovernmental organization, runs a public pollution database to monitor corporate environmental performance and to facilitate public participation in environmental governance in China. We work with our first-tier suppliers to help non-compliant sub-tier suppliers move toward compliance with local laws, asking them to check their suppliers’ facilities twice a year and follow up with audits to develop corrective action plans and enhance transparency. Costs include: human resources needed for environmental program management, direct supplier interaction, corresponding senior executive oversight and required travel expenses. An estimate of these expenses is $35,000/yr.

Any impacts on the availability of water, such as droughts, will impact the ability of our supply chain to provide products to Pinnacle1-3 yearsProbableMediumEngagement with suppliersCost of response strategy is assumed to add no significant additional cost as any expenses incurred are included within the boundary or normal operating costs, but are not expected to exceed 1 million USD.To manage this risk, our Supply Chain Leadership Team continuously monitors current regulatory and market conditions that may result in increased operational costs. To mitigate exposure to this risk, we have developed alternative sourcing of ingredients within supply chain beyond the current river basin, for example, including alternative sourcing of certain items from the Pacific Northwest.

It may cause disruption in production or even shut offs. Cost of daily shut off is USD 2.21 Mio/day for us. On this purpose, we evaluate risks and build up strategies for water management to mitigate and adapt the effects. Estimated total budget that spent for these efforts was USD 432000 on 2015.Water scarcity may cause disruption in production or even shut offs. Cost of daily shut off is USD 2.21 Mio/day for us. To mitigate the effects: - We have insurance also including disruption in production & shut off (USD 1.8 Mio) - We engage with other stakeholders like local authorities, governmental organizations, sister Sabanci Group plants operating in the neighbourhood.

Disruption of steam supply can cause shut down of our plants.1-3 yearsUnlikelyHighInfrastructure investment; Increased capital expenditureNo costs to us as East Water is responsible for providing the needed infrastructure to prevent disruption.Water transmission of East Water company (PTTGC’s water supplier) relies on a pumping system. A blackout would have an impact on water transmission system of East Water’s production process. East Water supplies water to our direct supplier, Gusco. This would also affect our supplier of steam (GPSC and Glow) as they also receive water from East Water and this would cause the shutdown of our operations that use steam. We have mitigated our risk by requesting our supplier East Water to invest in better infrastructure to minimize the risk of disruption to both us and our utilities supplier. However the likelihood of this risk is low because East Water has uninterrupted power supply and has reservoirs in high land.

This new pipeline is for freshwater from our sea water reverse osmosis plant. Using this pipeline reduces reliance on fresh water, which is affected during drought. This is out of total allocated budget for drought related expenditure in 2014-2015 of 500 million baht.We have a major infrastructure project to build a water pipeline that would also benefit GPSC and improve their resilience against drought.

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 W3.2d 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 supply chain and the strategies to mitigate them.
