Water Management CLAR’s Impact The real estate sector depends significantly on consistent clean water supply for property management activities and daily operations, and hence faces considerable challenges from water scarcity. The risk of escalating water prices, stricter regulations on water usage, and potential interruptions to supply could undermine the long-term viability of real estate assets. CLAR’s portfolio comprises certain assets situated in regions experiencing water stress, specifically in Australia as assessed by the World Resources Institute’s Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas. How CLAR Manages its Impact Strategic and sustainable water management is crucial for addressing water scarcity risks, thereby ensuring the resilience, efficiency, and enduring value of CLAR’s property portfolio. The Manager emphasises water conservation initiatives and fosters close collaboration with stakeholders to encourage responsible water usage. All water withdrawn by CLAR is presumed to be discharged. For the purposes of this report, the term "water consumption" refers to the water utilised in CLAR’s business operations. Water for all CLAR properties is sourced from municipal supplies, and wastewater generated from operations is responsibly discharged through municipal facilities, adhering to all relevant local regulations. For tenants who manage their own wastewater discharge, these requirements are communicated within their tenancy agreements.
