Withdrawal pressure

92-4

On track

WRI Aqueduct 4.0: Low baseline water stress (0.42). Large catchment with high renewable supply. Irrigation expansion on the Pannonian plain is increasing extraction pressure.

Regulatory alignment

72+1

On track

ICPDR (Danube River Protection Convention) compliance active; CSRD high exposure for grain traders and food processors.
