Implementation

1. Define the Scope: Begin by clearly defining the scope of the Hubgrade Water Footprint implementation. Determine the specific goals, objectives, and boundaries of the project. This step will help provide a clear direction for the implementation process.

2. Collect Data: Gather relevant data on water usage and consumption within the organization. This may involve conducting surveys, analyzing existing data, and collaborating with different departments to ensure comprehensive data collection. The accuracy and completeness of the data will be crucial for accurate water footprint calculations.

3. Calculate Water Footprint: Use the collected data to calculate the water footprint of the organization. This involves quantifying the amount of water used throughout the organization's operations, including direct water usage and indirect water consumption through the supply chain. Various methodologies and tools can be used for this calculation, such as the Water Footprint Network's standard methodology.

4. Analyze Results: Once the water footprint is calculated, analyze the results to identify areas of high water consumption and potential opportunities for improvement. This analysis will help prioritize actions and develop strategies to reduce the organization's water footprint. Consider factors such as water-intensive processes, water efficiency measures, and potential water-saving technologies.

5. Develop Action Plan: Based on the analysis, develop a comprehensive action plan to address the identified areas of improvement. This plan should include specific goals, targets, and timelines for implementing water-saving measures. It should also consider the feasibility, cost-effectiveness, and potential impact of each action.

6. Implement Water-Saving Measures: Execute the action plan by implementing the identified water-saving measures. This may involve implementing water-efficient technologies, optimizing processes, promoting water conservation practices among employees, and collaborating with suppliers to reduce water consumption in the supply chain. Regular monitoring and evaluation should be conducted to track progress and make necessary adjustments.

7. Communicate and Engage: Communicate the organization's commitment to reducing its water footprint to internal and external stakeholders. Engage employees, suppliers, and customers in water conservation efforts by raising awareness, providing training, and encouraging behavioral changes. Transparent communication about the progress and achievements in reducing the water footprint will help build trust and support.

8. Monitor and Evaluate: Continuously monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the implemented water-saving measures. Regularly measure and track the organization's water footprint to assess progress towards the set targets. This step will help identify any gaps or areas that require further improvement and allow for adjustments to the action plan if needed.

9. Report and Celebrate Success: Report the organization's achievements in reducing its water footprint to stakeholders, such as investors, customers, and regulatory bodies. Celebrate the success and share best practices to inspire and encourage others to take similar actions. This step will help showcase the organization's commitment to sustainability and build a positive reputation.

The implementation process may vary depending on the specific context and requirements of the organization. It is important to adapt and tailor the steps accordingly.

Proven Industry Success

Hubgrade Water Footprint was implemented at Veolia’s facility in 2023 and allowed the team to quantify early wins, including:

Harvested ~3,000 cubic meters of rainwater
Reduced emissions by 20,000+ kg through piped natural gas (PNG) usage
Saved 72,000 kWh through solar power

These statistics demonstrate the early wins achieved through the implementation of Hubgrade Water Footprint at Veolia's facility in 2023. Additionally, in 2024, Veolia plans to expand the use of Hubgrade Water Footprint to up to 20 more global sites to drive new sustainability efforts.
