Water footprinting: joining the drops

Do you want to understand your impact on water and what you can do about it? We are water experts who can provide you with the evidence base you need to make decisions. 

Water is rising up the corporate agenda, because this vital resource is in short supply. Many companies face freshwater shortages in their supply chain which limits the water they can use. Damaging communities or the environment through water extraction and pollution is no longer an option for companies who want to protect their brand. Government regulation and voluntary commitments such as the Water Disclosure Project and Natural Capital Accounting are creating new challenges for business.We recommend measuring your water footprint as part of an integrated approach. This will support your wider business strategy as there are both potential trade-offs and synergies with other key metrics: carbon, energy, raw materials, waste and land use (ecological footprinting).

As members of the Water Footprint Network, we have a library of best practice methods to hand. Our network of experts with a global perspective will give you insight into industry specific challenges and your local context. Working together, we’ll uncover your risks and opportunities and develop potential scenarios for your business, so you can take effective action on water.
