ISO 14046Water Footprint Report
Turn your company's water footprint into a measurable, comparable and strategic sustainability indicator.
Take Water Management
to a Strategic Level
With ISO 14046, analyze your water consumption and water-related environmental impacts through a life-cycle approach, and reduce water risks.
Turn Your Company's Water Footprint into a Strategic Sustainability Indicator
ISO 14046 is the international standard that enables businesses to evaluate their water consumption and water-related environmental impacts from a life-cycle perspective. This approach not only measures the amount of water consumed; it reveals, within a holistic framework, the stress level in the region where the water is sourced, the impacts of activities on the ecosystem, and how water-related risks affect business processes.
Water footprint analysis covers a broad spectrum, from raw material supply to production, from distribution to the product use phase and disposal. As a result, companies can clearly see in which processes water use is concentrated, where it creates risk, and which steps offer improvement opportunities.
Considering the increasing water scarcity, regional water stress and supply chain risks on a global scale, ISO 14046 compliant studies have become both an environmental and a strategic necessity for businesses. These analyses move water management from an operational indicator to a critical component of the sustainability strategy.
What Is a Product Water Footprint?
Product Water Footprint
It is a comprehensive indicator showing how much water is consumed and how water-related impacts arise across all stages of a product, from its production to its use.
How Is an ISO 14046 Compliant Water Footprint Study Carried Out?
We manage all steps in compliance with international standards, from measuring the water impact to improvement and reporting.
1. Defining the System Boundaries
In the first stage, the scope of the operations to be analyzed is determined and the life-cycle steps are clarified.
2. Data Collection and Process Analysis
Water consumption, wastewater volumes, process data, supply chain information and data on the relevant regional water resources are collected systematically.
3. Impact Calculations
Water use and water-related impacts are calculated using internationally accepted methodologies (ISO 14046, Water Footprint Assessment Manual).
4. Identifying Improvement Areas
Actionable strategies are developed to increase water efficiency, reduce risks and contribute to sustainable goals.
6. Reporting and Certification
Water footprint results are reported in accordance with international standards; where deemed necessary, verification can be obtained from certification bodies.
Who Should Conduct a Water Footprint Analysis?
Companies Operating in Water-Intensive Sectors
Organizations with high water consumption in their operations that are targeting efficiency.
Businesses Producing in High Water-Stress Regions
Production facilities directly affected by regional water risks.
Firms with High Supply Chain Water Risk
Companies wishing to make the water impacts originating from their suppliers visible.
Organizations Seeking to Strengthen Their Sustainability and ESG Performance
Organizations wishing to raise reporting quality by measuring their water impact.
Companies Preparing CDP, TSRS or Sustainability Reporting
Firms wishing to integrate water management data into national and international reporting frameworks.
Firms Working with International Customers and Exporting
Businesses targeting compliance with global customer requirements and supply chain audits.
Businesses Seeking to Increase Water Efficiency and Reduce Operational Costs
Companies wishing to reduce water-related costs and improve operational performance.
Organizations Setting Targets on Climate and Water Resources
Organizations wishing to support long-term water and climate strategies with measurable data.
Identify Water Risks Early, Increase Strategic Resilience
An ISO 14046 compliant water footprint analysis makes water-related risks visible at the operational level. As a result, your company can more quickly implement actions that increase water efficiency and optimize resource use in critical processes.
Proper data management and a life-cycle approach both reduce environmental impact and strengthen corporate sustainability performance.
