Services Provided within the Scope of Water Footprint Calculation and Reporting:

1. Preliminary Evaluation and Preparation

  • Current Situation Analysis: We analyze the company’s current water use and water management processes. This analysis collects data on water use in production processes, supply chain and operations and assesses all factors that make up the water footprint.
  • Gap Analysis: We identify gaps in water footprint calculation and reporting processes. In this process, we identify improvements that need to be made to comply with international standards (e.g. Water Footprint Network) and legal requirements.

2. Water Footprint Measurement and Calculation

  • Determination of Water Use: We identify all water use (blue water, green water, gray water) resulting from your company’s activities. This includes direct water consumption, indirect water use (along the supply chain) and pollution sources.
  • Data Collection: We collect water consumption, water recycling, water quality and other water-related operational data required for water footprint calculation. This data forms the basis of the calculation process.
  • Calculation and Analysis: Based on the collected data, we calculate your company’s water footprint. This calculation determines the amount of water used and the impact on water resources.

3. Water Footprint Reporting

  • Compliance with Reporting Standards: We prepare your water footprint reporting in accordance with internationally recognized standards (Water Footprint Network, ISO 14046). This reporting provides a comprehensive analysis of water consumption and transparent sharing of environmental performance with stakeholders.
  • Detailed Report Preparation: We compile the results of the water footprint calculation into a detailed report. This report covers water consumption, calculation methodology, impacts on water resources and suggested areas for improvement.
  • Stakeholder Communication: We develop strategies to effectively communicate the report to the company’s internal and external stakeholders. This reinforces your company’s commitment to sustainability in the eyes of investors, customers and the public.

4. Water Footprint Reduction Strategies

  • Setting Reduction Targets: We set specific and measurable targets to reduce your company’s water footprint. These targets are aligned with national and international water management commitments.
  • Efficient Water Use Projects: We develop water efficiency projects to optimize water consumption and reduce your water footprint. These projects encourage more efficient use of water and reduce the amount of wastewater.
  • Sustainable Supply Chain Management: We create strategies to reduce the water footprint in your supply chain. This includes collaborating with suppliers, promoting the use of sustainable water sources and improving water efficiency.
  • Water Recycling and Reuse: We develop water recycling projects to reduce water consumption. These projects ensure that the water used is reprocessed and reused in processes.

6. Continuous Monitoring and Improvement

  • Monitoring Water Use: We establish regular monitoring and reporting processes to track your water footprint reduction targets and assess how close you are to meeting them.
  • Performance Evaluation: We conduct annual performance evaluations to measure the effectiveness of water footprint reduction strategies and provide recommendations for continuous improvement.
  • Updated Reporting: We regularly update water footprint reports to reflect the impact of strategies developed and improvements made.

7. Regulatory Compliance and Reporting

  • Legal Requirements: We help your company comply with legal requirements for water management in the country in which it operates. This includes aligning water consumption and wastewater management reporting and mitigation strategies with regulatory requirements.
  • International Reporting Commitments: We ensure that your company reports water use in line with international water management and sustainability agreements and commitments.
