Are the ways you calculate your water footprint based on science and ready for an audit? With global water stress rising and investors watching closely, it's no longer possible to rely on simple estimates.
ISO 14046 is the gold standard for proving credibility in the market.
What does ISO 14046 mean?
This important ISO standard lays out the rules, principles, and steps for doing a full water footprint assessment. ISO 14046 requires a full life-cycle approach that takes into account all relevant environmental impacts, which makes your data defensible and comparable. This is different from simple volume measurements.
Why This Standard Is Important for Water Management:
Credibility: Following the ISO 14046 standard shows that you are committed to advanced Water Stewardship that meets the requirements of regulators and green finance.
Risk Mitigation: By correctly pinpointing water risk hotspots, such as areas with a high chance of water scarcity or pollution, we can come up with proactive ways to reduce those risks.
Investor Confidence: ESG rating agencies and sustainable investors really like having strong, standardized Water Footprint Calculation data.
Greenex uses the ISO 14046 method to create scientifically sound and useful water footprint reports because they are experts in environmental compliance. We help you go beyond just following the rules to really being a Water Steward.
