How are you coping with extreme drought (climate change)?

To address the effects of the prolonged drought, which has lasted more than 14 years, Aguas Andinas is implementing strategies and technologies that guarantee the continuity of services and minimize environmental impact. This includes optimizing water treatment and distribution processes to reduce energy and water consumption, as well as responsible waste management.

The Company has been developing an investment plan to ensure the security of supply standards committed for Greater Santiago under climate change conditions, which includes the AVANZA project (you can review this project in the Investor Day 2022 replay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BptP0gRKRwE), new boreholes in wells, reinforcements in the drinking water supply system, and the expansion of Drinking Water Treatment Plants.

What is the company's vision on climate change?

Aguas Andinas' vision of climate change is clear and decisive, where we recognize the importance of preserving and protecting water resources in a context of global climate crisis. Our commitment is to lead the sanitation industry in Chile towards sustainable and environmentally friendly practices.

We are also committed to adapting to the challenges of climate change. In the Metropolitan Region, the most evident effects of the climate crisis are associated with a drought that has lasted more than a decade and the increase in heavy summer rains in the mountainous zone, which, due to the dragging of materials, cause high turbidity events in the Maipo and Mapocho rivers, affecting the purification of raw water. We work closely with the authorities and the local community to develop solutions that ensure a reliable and sustainable water supply in an uncertain future.

The company seeks to lead through efficient and optimized investment management, which allows the entry of a service of excellence through a responsible investment plan that promotes green and social financing, positively impacting all the company's stakeholders. Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time, and we are committed to being part of the solution.
