Water consumption
In the DB Group, water consumption is defined as consumption from the public supply. In 2022, water consumption increased by 8% (previous year: decreased by 14%). There was an increase in both the Integrated Rail System and at DB Schenker. The widespread revocation of Covid-19 measures, the re-increasing volume sold and produced in passenger transport and the increasing presence of employees in offices were among the main reasons for the increase. This can also be attributed to the increase in construction work at DB Netze Track and the optimization of data documentation at DB Schenker. DB Arriva recorded a decline.
Includes consumption by DB Schenker from the previous year.
