We take a responsible approach to water use and strive to reduce consumption through technical and organizational measures.
Our approach to water use
GRI 303‑1, GRI 303‑2
At Kaspersky, water is used exclusively for the day‑to‑day office and data center operations. We get water only from municipal water supply systems and do not abstract water from natural sources.. Additionally, wastewater is not discharged into natural water bodies.
Our water management approach is based on preventing losses and ensuring that our engineering systems operate reliably. We pay special attention to the technical condition of our equipment and regularly upgrade our infrastructure to minimize the risk of accidents and inefficient water use.
Water consumption and measures to reduce it
In 2024–2025, the Company’s water consumption increased slightly compared to 2022–2023. This was due to a gradual change in format of work and an increase in how much time employees spend in the office instead of working remotely. That said, the current level of water consumption remains significantly lower than the 2019 baseline.
To reduce water consumption and prevent losses, we implement a range of technical measures, including:
We regularly inspect the condition of shut‑off and control valves.
We periodically perform water analysis to monitor the condition of pipelines.
We maintain the necessary stock of spare parts and equipment. This lets us promptly fix problems and minimize water loss in emergency situations.

Water consumptionThis disclosure includes AO Kaspersky Lab's Moscow office, which includes the Company's data center (our main source of water consumption). Information was not collected for the remaining offices during the reporting period. In our business operations, water is used for ordinary purposes at the Company's offices. Accordingly, we report total water consumption. Our offices are not located in regions considered to be under water stress., cubic meters
In 2026–2027, we plan to explore the possibility of installing additional shut‑off devices on main pipelines. This will let us find potential leaks more quickly and accurately, reduce the area affected by a shutdown, and decrease the volume of water that must be drained during repair work.
