Product Water Footprint
ISO 14046-compliant water footprint assessments for products and processes.
What this is
Water footprints quantify water use and the resulting environmental impacts across a product's life cycle. For water-intensive industries or products sold into water-stressed regions, a water footprint provides data that carbon-only assessments miss. We work to ISO 14046 standards.
Why water footprints matter
Beyond carbon
Water-stressed regions and water-intensive products demand metrics that carbon-only reporting misses.
Risk visibility
Identifies where supply chain water use overlaps with high-scarcity catchments.
Stewardship credibility
Provides verified data for AWS, CDP Water, and customer water disclosures.
Process savings
Hotspot data points to water and cost reductions in production.
Who this is for

- Food, beverage, and agriculture producers
- Textiles, paper, and chemicals manufacturers
- Brands selling into water-stressed regions
Reporting and stewardship teams
- Organisations responding to CDP Water Security
- Teams pursuing AWS certification
- Sustainability teams broadening reporting beyond carbon
What you get
