Water Risk Assessment Report for Coherent Corp

This document is a Water Risk Assessment Report prepared for Coherent Corp, detailing the results of a water risk screening analysis conducted by Siemens for Coherent's global facility portfolio, which includes 123 locations. The analysis utilized the World Resource Institute (WRI) Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas to identify and prioritize water risks. The report outlines various risk categories, including Physical Risk Quantity, Physical Risk Quality, and Regulatory & Reputation Risk, and identifies seventeen locations classified as 'extremely high risk' in Physical Risk Quantity and two in Physical Risk Quality. The indicators responsible for these classifications include water stress, water depletion, interannual variability, and untreated connected wastewater. The report emphasizes the need for further investigation of high-risk locations based on their water consumption in 2023, highlighting the importance of understanding water-related risks in the semiconductor industry. The Aqueduct tools and methodology are also briefly described, providing context for the risk assessment process.
