**(W6.5a) What processes do you have in place to ensure that all of your direct and indirect activities seeking to influence policy are consistent with your water**
**policy/water commitments?**

Most of our manufacturing facilities have closed loop water systems, and overall, Aptar sites consume less than 3% of our total water withdrawal. What we return to the
system is often even at a better and cleaner quality than what was drawn, due to our internal closed loop and internal water treatment processes.

As described in the previous sections, Aptar's boards established mechanisms to ensure that our global activities aligns with the company's commitments and strategic
objectives for water security, maintaining a consistent approach to addressing our water challenges. For example our EHS department developed internal procedures related
to the water management, sites report water withdrawal and discharge metrics on a monthly basis, and we respond to the CDP water

assessment annually.

In addition, our enterprise risk management is costantly looking for the best evaluation of water-related risks and opportunities to avoid business interruptions.

Notably, during reporting year 2023, Aptar joined different working group and working stream (e.g. SBTN, WBCSD Nature Positive) supporting the development and testing
feedback of new Science Based Targets for Nature, on which freshwater topic is on top of the nature aspect.

In addition, Aptar water audit commitment was implemented to assure data collection process and identify reporting inconsistencies, aid in short and long-term business
planning, and support our Water Roadmap to ensure that our water strategy is effective.

Describe the process(es) your organization has in place to ensure that your engagement activities are consistent with your overall climate change strategy[…]In 2018, Aptar revised our global sustainability strategy. One of the five pillars of this revised strategy is "Suppliers & Partners†. With the aspiration that our partners have similar aspirations related to people, circular economy, solutions, and operations, we understand that working with suppliers and partners is critical to achieving not only our internal targets, but also global goals. In addition to expanding partnerships with customers and suppliers, we look to establish additional partnerships in all regions to facilitate circular packaging systems. Along year 2019 Aptar joined different associations focused on the sustainability topics as Ellen MacArthur Foundation and World Business Council Sustainable Development in order to boost our knowledge and expertise with projects in collaboration with multiple partners. More in accuracy, we are managing the multiple engagement activities around climate change thanks to the participation in specific projects and working groups promoted by these organizations and alliances with the aim to influence the sustainability topics in terms of policy alignment and common methodologies to different sustainability topics in packaging sectors.
In year 2020 we promoted in definitive way guidelines and documents to define policy aspects for circular economy and guidelines to measure the circularity of businesses in collaboration with different stakeholders around the globe.
For example in collaboration with WBCSD we conducted pilot study related to Circular Transition Indicators to promote circularity in our operations and products.
Regarding energy management, along year 2020 (in collaboration with WBCSD) Aptar joined different working group focused on the energy decarbonization in compliance with SBT targets and Net Zero strategy.
Finally, during the reporting year 2021, we collaborated in different WBCSD workin group like PACT - Partnership for Carbon Transparency (standardizing emissions data exchange along value chain).
