Many companies have only just woken up to the fact that using more water than necessary in their day-to-day operations is losing them money. Indeed, inefficient use of water is a double whammy because of the energy costs associated with FMCG manufacturing processes such as pumping, heating and cooling. In today's 'interesting' economic climate, global brands are looking at innovative ways in which they can cut costs through water footprinting – using less, spending less. The Corporate Water Footprint Summit USA provides a unique opportunity for brands to learn from brands on how investing in water conservation and water efficiency projects can translate to create measurable energy (and cost) saving benefits. The Summit will cut through the hype on all the different methodologies for measuring water usage, and will spell out the business case for investing in water footprinting, including water conservation projects, water efficiency roll-outs, water reuse, wastewater treatment and rainwater harvesting.
