GSK's Boudouaou manufacturing site sits in an Extremely High baseline water-stress watershed (BWS 5) with no visibility yet into grid decarbonisation or forward water-risk trajectories.

Today

The Boudouaou facility is explicitly classified as a "manufacturing (high water risk site)," and the data confirms this: it sits in a watershed feeding the Mediterranean Sea with a Baseline Water Stress score of 5 (Extremely High, >80%), an overall local water risk score of 3.13 (High, 60-75%), and a water depletion score of 4.81 — the most acute single metric in the profile. Riverine flood risk (3.16) adds an acute physical overlay, while coastal flood risk is negligible (0). No flow data (water withdrawal, energy consumption, GHG emissions) is recorded for this site, and Algeria's grid emissions-factor data is entirely absent, so Scope 2 exposure cannot be characterized quantitatively at present — the dominant, decision-relevant signal today is water dependency risk, not disclosed energy or emissions performance.

Near-term · 2030

Out to 2030, no horizon-specific water-stress, water-depletion, or grid-emissions-factor values are populated for Boudouaou, so the dataset cannot yet confirm whether the Extremely High water stress or the riverine flood exposure is projected to worsen or ease. This is a notable gap for a site already flagged as "high water risk" in its asset subtype classification, and closing it should be a priority for forward-looking LEAP assessment.

Long-term · 2050+

No 2050+ grid or water horizon data is available for this site, so a quantified long-term decarbonisation trajectory or residual physical-risk trend cannot be established from the current dataset. Given Algeria's arid Mediterranean setting and the site's already Extremely High baseline water stress, absent mitigation (efficiency, reuse, alternative sourcing) the structural water constraint is more likely to persist or intensify than resolve on its own; this should be flagged as a data gap requiring direct engagement with GSK on site-level adaptation planning.

Call-outs
RISK
Extremely High baseline water stress
BWS score of 5 (Extremely High, >80%) means the Boudouaou site competes for an already over-allocated resource in its Mediterranean Sea watershed, directly threatening manufacturing continuity.
RISK
Elevated riverine flood exposure
A riverine flood score of 3.16 alongside a water depletion score of 4.81 indicates the facility faces compounding acute (flood) and chronic (depletion) water hazards simultaneously.
WATCH
No grid decarbonisation data
Algeria (DZ) grid emission factor horizons for 2030/2050/2080 are null, leaving Scope 2 transition trajectory and decarbonisation timing entirely unquantified for this site.
WATCH
Missing forward water horizons
2030/2050/2080 water depletion and stress projections are unpopulated, so any inflection point in future water risk cannot yet be benchmarked against today's Extremely High baseline.
