ISO 14046: Water footprint
ISO 14046 is an international standard that provides principles, requirements & guidelines related to water footprint assessment of products, processes and organizations based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).
In particular, it provides principles, requirements and guidelines for conducting and reporting a water footprint assessment as a stand-alone assessment, or as part of a more comprehensive environmental assessment. The assessments includes some air and soil emissions that affect water quality.
Key aspects
- GHG Emissions Quantification: The standard provides methodologies for calculating GHG emissions from various sources, including direct emissions, indirect emissions, and removals.
- Transparency and Credibility: The standard emphasizes transparency and credibility in GHG reporting, allowing stakeholders, such as investors, customers, and regulatory authorities, to trust the reported data.
- Verification Process: The standard supports a verification process conducted by independent third parties to confirm the accuracy and completeness of GHG inventories.
Applicability
The verification is applicable to a wide range of organizations and industries, especially for:
- Organizations aiming to evaluate and reduce their water-related environmental impacts.
- Companies seeking to enhance sustainability reporting and environmental performance.
- Industries operating in water-stressed regions or subject to water-related regulatory requirements.
- Entities pursuing corporate water stewardship or sustainable supply chain management initiatives.
