Case Studies1. Green chemistry – textile industry2. Savings – general housekeeping3. Recommend RO vs IEx 4. Water savings 5. >10% water savings (Johnson &
Johnson and Eskom)6. Test value for different sectors
1. Extractives vs retail vs energy vs beverage
2. Upstream – focus internal policy
3. Within fence – target the high water use operational activities

Growing awareness that “water” needs to be considered in a broad range of decision-making processes
Highlights
Overall, it can be concluded that water footprinting is indeed a useful tool that companies can use as a first estimation of their water use and impact.
