Publication of the water footprint of the own brand
The company measures and publishes the water footprint of some of its own brand products.
About the data
According to the Water Footprint Network, a corporate water footprint is defined as the total volume of fresh water that is used directly and indirectly to manage and support a business.
The water footprint of a company consists of two components:
The water footprint of the supply chain (indirect) which is the water used in a company's own supply chain. This is the indirect use of water.
The operational (direct) water footprint, which is the water used by a company for production or manufacturing purposes, and for support activities. This is the direct use of water.
This metric is a first step in our demands regarding the registration and publication of a water footprint as complete as possible that reflects the comprehensive impact of the service or products offered by a company throughout the value chain.
