Water

​

A water footprint represents direct and indirect water consumption of a product, service or a production activity of an organisation. Water auditing is a method of quantifying water flows and quality, with a road map of potential water savings, as well as implementation costs.

​We offer independent verification of both water footprints and water audits against globally recognized standards such as ISO 14046:2014 and Global Water Footprint Assessment Standard which includes a comprehensive review of your water usage and water management system.

 

In addition, the following water-related services can also be obtained:

• Verification of performance metrics, strategic management plans and reports

• Verification of the reduced water related impacts at specific locations and various stages of your product, process or organization’s life cycle

• Assurance for water-related claims as per the ISO 14065:2020 Standard

 

 

Waste

 

A waste footprint is the quantity of waste generated from an organization’s operations within a specified boundary across its processes and/or supply chain (i.e., waste generated upstream from the point of consumption), while a waste audit can extend to identification of waste generation reduction methods, alternative waste disposal methods and systems to transition into a circular economy.

​

We offer independent verification of waste footprints, waste audits and other waste-related assessments against globally recognized standards such as the UNIDO/UNEP Resource Efficient Cleaner Production Methodology and relevant ISO standards including ISO 14001:2015.

 

In addition, the following waste-related services can also be obtained:

• Verification of performance metrics, management plans and reports

• Verification of lifecycle impacts from waste handling and disposal

• Assurance for zero-waste and other waste-related claims as per the ISO 14065:2020 Standard.
