This metric is part of the Eticonsum research study on the evaluation of companies in the Retail Food sector in environmental, social and ethical matters.
Eticonsum is a non-profit market research agency specialized in corporate performance ESG (environment, social, governance) applied to consumer knowledge.
We investigate and analyze the ethical market of the FMCG sector and evaluate the environmental and social performance of companies in order to help both conscious consumers to decide according to their values, as well as companies to compete on ethical reputation.

With this metric based on the standard "" GRI 303: WATER AND EFFLUENTS "" we intend to take a first step in the area of responsibility of mass consumption companies regarding the impact of their production chain on water, specifically regarding microplastics dumped in textile and cosmetic manufacturing, in addition to knowing if they adopt recycling and reuse measures of water in order to achieve greater efficiency in their consumption.
