Benefits of the Water Footprint Standard

A water footprint assessment is not just an environmental exercise. For businesses operating in regions under water stress, it is a strategic tool: it shows where water is being used, what the exposure looks like, and how that exposure is likely to change. The benefits for an organisation that takes on the standard include the following.

It analyses the risks an organisation faces from future water consumption patterns and prepares the organisation to respond to them.
It identifies ways to reduce the environmental impact of water consumption, at both process and product level.
It improves product quality at both the process level and the organisational level.
It supports the sharing of data and good practice between industry and public authorities.
It helps organisations meet growing customer expectations around environmental responsibility.
