Ecolab Inc., the global leader in water, hygiene and energy technologies and services, launched the Ecolab Smart Water Navigator, a free online tool to help businesses throughout the world improve water management at their facilities in the face of growing global water scarcity.
According to UN projections, the world will experience a 40 per cent water shortfall by 2030 unless action is taken to reduce global water use. Industry accounts for 20 per cent of all freshwater use globally and more than 40 per cent in developed countries, and use is trending upwards in developing nations as they industrialise.
“Every business and every community needs water,” said Douglas M. Baker, Jr., Chairman and CEO, Ecolab. “There’s so much companies can do right now, with available technology, to help ensure that everyone will have the water they need in the future. That is why we developed this tool to help turn good intentions into action.”
More and more companies have water reduction targets, but they often lack the tools and expertise to achieve them. The smart water navigator, developed in collaboration with Trucost, part of S&P Global and an advisory panel of major private sector companies, helps bridge this gap.
Based on a straightforward, 13-question assessment informed by leading water stewardship experts, the smart water navigator shows companies how their individual facilities are performing compared to industry-leading water management practices. The tool places each facility on a water maturity curve and generates an industry- and location-specific guide with practical action steps to help a company build sustainable, ‘water-smart’ practices, and achieve the next level on the water maturity curve.
Using a corporate dashboard, companies can sort their facilities by geography, water-stress level and water management performance, enabling them to prioritise specific sites for investment in water-saving solutions. A benchmarking function also allows companies to assess how they are scoring on the water maturity curve compared to others in the same industry.
“Ambitious goals are set at the corporate level, but very often facility managers don’t have the tools, resources and incentives to meet expectations. Since 2011, overall corporate water use has only fallen by 10 per cent. The smart water navigator will help companies achieve more substantial water savings,” said Emilio Tenuta, Vice President, Corporate Sustainability, Ecolab. The smart water navigator can be used by companies in all sectors of the economy, whether they manage one facility or hundreds.
