Changes in water-related laws, regulations, permitting requirements, or water pricing structures may affect suppliers’ operating costs, water availability, and production continuity. Such changes may also have implications for the cost and reliability of raw materials supplied to Osotspa, particularly among critical Tier 1 suppliers located in water-stressed areas.

Osotspa monitors changes in relevant laws and regulations through its Legal function, which regularly tracks and communicates new and amended regulatory requirements to relevant functions. The Company collaborates with critical Tier 1 suppliers to identify potential impacts of regulatory and water pricing changes and encourages compliance with applicable requirements, improved water-use efficiency, and reduced dependency on freshwater. Potential regulatory and cost changes are considered in water risk management and business continuity planning to strengthen supply chain resilience and minimize potential disruptions.

3. Risks related to stakeholder conflicts

Competition for water resources among local communities, agricultural users, businesses, and other stakeholders may create conflicts, particularly in water-stressed areas. Such conflicts may affect suppliers’ access to sufficient water, operational continuity, and the reliability of raw material supplies to Osotspa.

Osotspa collaborates with critical Tier 1 suppliers located in water-stressed areas to identify potential stakeholder-related water risks and promote responsible water management. Suppliers are encouraged to engage with relevant stakeholders, understand local water-related concerns, and implement appropriate measures to manage competing demands for water resources. These practices help minimize potential conflicts, support responsible and equitable water resource use, and strengthen the resilience and continuity of Osotspa’s supply chain.

Osotspa places importance on water risk management across the supply chain, with a focus on Tier 1 suppliers that play a critical role in the continuity of raw material sourcing. The Company systematically conducts location-based water risk assessments within its supply chain by using internationally recognized tools, such as WRI’s Aqueduct, to identify areas that are vulnerable to water-related risks. Based on the assessment results, the Company strengthens suppliers’ capabilities through knowledge sharing and training to enable them to manage water-related risks that may affect their operations. The key topics covered include:

Quantity and quality of water resources

Risks arising from insufficient water availability and deterioration of water source quality, which may result from climate variability, shared water use with other sectors in the area, and water pollution. These factors may affect suppliers’ operational capability, continuity of raw material supply, and product quality.
