Water Footprint Network Methodology (Green/Blue/Grey)

Service Scope

We track every drop of water from source to disposal

The water footprint is not just a consumption figure — it is a strategic metric at the intersection of operational risk, supply chain vulnerability and investor expectations.

Blue Water Footprint

The amount of fresh water withdrawn from surface and groundwater sources. Quantitative measurement of water used in production, cooling and processes.

  • Process-based water balance
  • Well and grid separation
  • Seasonal variation analysis

Green Water Footprint

Rainwater used in agriculture, forestry and bio-based raw material production. Critical for supply chain modelling.

  • Supplier product mapping
  • Crop/geography-based calculation
  • Ecoinvent integration

Grey Water Footprint

The amount of water required to dilute discharged pollutants to natural quality standards — the pollution footprint.

  • COD, BOD, heavy metal analysis
  • Discharge point monitoring
  • Local limit value comparison

Water Stress & Risk Analysis

Location-based water stress mapping and physical/regulatory risk scoring with WRI Aqueduct and WBCSD WBCSD Water Tool.

  • Location risk score
  • Basin-based assessment
  • Future scenarios (2030/2040)

Our Working Approach

A water strategy that turns into action in 4 steps

From field data to reduction targets, we manage the entire process end-to-end with our expert team.

01

Field Analysis & Data Inventory

At your production facilities, we collect meter, invoice, process and supplier data and derive the source-consumption-discharge balance.

02

Water Footprint Calculation

Using an ISO 14046-compliant method, we calculate the blue/green/grey water footprint at product, facility and company level.

03

Risk & Stress Mapping

With WRI Aqueduct, we run location-based water stress scoring and basin-level physical/regulatory risk analysis.

04

Reduction Roadmap

We deliver a prioritised action plan for process improvement, reuse, recovery and supplier management.
