02. Target Determination
Set time based reduction targets for water-use with short- and mid-term milestones
Signatories will employ the determined footprint to set target-based metrics to improve water usage across the entire business supply chain. The targets will include impacts on water quantity, quality, and geographical distribution.
Typical Targets
Quantity
Quantity based targets represent targets aim for net improvements in volumetric uses of water throughout supply-chain wide operations.
Quality
Quality based targets aim to improve over baseline the ‘quality’ of the water restored to a watershed post use. Quality includes pollutants, contaminants, and temperature factors.
Geographical Distribution
Geographical distribution targets aim to improve the localised impact of operations by accounting for localised factors in water use.
