Measuring Our Progress

Water Conservation

Boeing reduced absolute water consumption at our major U.S. sites by 6 percent in 2009, and has reduced water consumption at these sites on a revenue-adjusted basis by 43 percent since 2002.

Water Use at Major U.S. Sites – Absolute	Water Use at Major U.S. Sites - Revenue Adjusted
In addition to data from Boeing’s 20 major sites, also includes data from Chicago, Boeing Commercial Airplanes’ operations in Long Beach, Calif., and West Hills, Calif. 1 U.S. gallon = approximately 3.79 liters. To align with reporting practices for energy, emissions, hazardous waste and recycling, Boeing has begun reporting water use at major U.S. sites. Previously, Boeing reported on water use at all of its U.S. locations, which is a higher level of consumption. Data in the chart is normalized for divestitures by excluding Boeing Commercial Airplanes operations in Wichita (now Spirit AeroSystems) from 2002 to 2005. Boeing Defense, Space & Security’s Wichita operations are included in this data. 2008 data reflects reduced production demand due to the IAM work stoppage in Washington, Oregon and Kansas.
