水是一种有限且宝贵的自然资源,受到全球气候变化的威胁,其影响已经很明显。例如,在过去的50年中,美国许多地区的年降雨量减少。世界各地,缺水已经影响三分之一人,小于1%of the earth’s water is safe for consumption. In addition, according to theEPA,持续的气候变化很可能导致水需求增加,同时又缩小了供水,尤其是在人口增长的地区。即使在没有如此高的水短缺风险的地区,预计洪水或海平面上升的增加也会增加,这反过来又影响了可用水的质量,并严重损害了用于输送消耗水的基础设施。

These impacts on water supply directly affect agriculture, energy production, environmental ecosystems, and, of course, human health. But it also goes beyond those impacts and can affect business operations across industries, which can take an additional community and economic toll. As such, Keysight actively works towards water conservation and reducing our exposure to water-related risks.

Keysight致力于明智的用水和管理
Though Keysight, as a software and solutions-based company, isn’t a significant user of water and has minimal risk to business operations from water-related issues, we believe it is important for all companies to help enable a sustainable future and we do our part accordingly. Along with multiple environmental programs that support mitigating the effects of climate change, Keysight utilizes a strategic approach to our water stewardship through water usage, treatment, and conservation efforts.

  • 我们的用水

Keysight manufacturing facilities use water for direct operational processes in wafer fab and micro part processing, and in indirect operations primarily for consumption (e.g., drinking water, restrooms, and cafeterias) and chiller systems. Most of the water used by Keysight is withdrawn from third party sources, such as municipal supply, with a small percentage withdrawn from well water. Regardless, all water discharged by Keysight is managed and treated by municipal wastewater treatment systems and meets discharge requirements.

  • Our water treatment

Keysight在我们三个制造地点使用现场废水处理厂。该处理的一个例子是在出院到市政当局之前,将pH调节到5.5-12.5之内。在景观灌溉和特定的过程系统(例如湿洗涤器)中,经过处理的水是重复使用的。

  • 我们的节水

我们对水的保护有着强烈的感觉。在2015年,作为公司企业社会责任(CSR)愿景的一部分,我们设定了五年的供水关键影响目标。金博宝手机版网页我们很高兴地报告,在超过了2017财年的原始10%节水目标之后,实施措施的持续利益使该公司能够在2020财政年度结束2020财政年度,每2015年基准节水为18.9%。

应对不利的环境影响
Just as important as implementing these efforts is the need to regularly assess and report on their results. To support continuous improvement, part of Keysight’s DNA as a measurement company, we report annually on our water consumption and conservation efforts. In addition, we regularly assess for water-related risks that could impact our business, using the World Resources Institute (WRI) Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas to review water stress in areas where we operate. These efforts help ensure we are addressing consequential water-related matters, not only for our operations but also the communities in which we operate.

水管理是每个公司的责任
作为世界各地社区的成员,公司在保存自然资源中扮演着角色,其中包括水管理。所有公司都需要以环境可持续性,社会公平且经济有益的方式认识到其用水和影响。
