Learning from some of the top companies like Veolia Water, SNE is the first few operators to support the development of an open-source method for calculating water footprints.
The model which is now in research stage, can be used to assess water footprints for businesses or regions, to identify critical issues and to assist local authorities and industrial companies in implementing improvement plans.
The indicator incorporates tools to measure parameters such as the quality of water withdrawn then discharged into the natural environment, as well as water stress and consumption.
