With the increase of industrialization and population, the sustainable usage of water resources has become a crucial environmental issue. The water footprint is calculated according to the amount of water consumed and polluted. A product’s water footprint refers to the amount of water consumed and polluted during its production, including its supply chain. Institutions’ water footprint calculations allow the following:

Assessment of the potential environmental impacts of water usage,

Assessment of opportunities for reducing water consumption during different stages of products’ life cycle.

Origination of strategic risk management for water usage,

Optimization of water management and water efficiency on the levels of product, operation and institution,

Implementation of future water saving plans and actions by revealing the amount of water usage during production and consumption.

Making of scientifically consistent and reliable inquiries for communication and marketing (e.g.: treatment of a labeling draft, making of an environmental request, production of an environmental product declaration).

SEEM’s team of experts offers institution and product based water footprint calculation and reporting services according to the ISO 14046 standard or the Global Water Footprint Standard.
