Water Results Page

1. Purpose

The Water Results page provides a detailed overview of the environmental impact associated with your company's water consumption. It presents a breakdown of your water impact, allows you to track your progress over time, and compare your performance against industry and association benchmarks.

2. Key Features

• Share of water in m³: A bar chart at the top illustrates the total cubic meters (m³) of water consumed from each source (currently only tap water) for the selected year. This helps you visualize your water consumption patterns.
• Carbon Footprint: A bar chart below the first one shows the carbon footprint associated with your water consumption, measured in kilograms of CO2 equivalent (kg CO2-eq).
• Impact per Month (if applicable): If you selected a specific month in the options at the top of the page, this section will display a bar chart showing the water impact for that month.
• Benchmark Comparisons: The page includes benchmark comparisons to show how your water impact per square meter and per euro sold compares to industry averages and association averages (if applicable).
• Variance: This section displays the percentage difference between your company's impact and the industry or association average. A red percentage indicates that your impact is higher than the average, suggesting room for improvement. A green percentage indicates that your impact is lower than the average, highlighting good performance.
• Interactive Elements: You can hover over the bars in the charts to view detailed information about water consumption and its contribution to your impact in each graph.

3. Understanding the Charts

• Share of water in m³ chart: Each bar in the chart represents a year, and the length of the bar indicates the total water consumed, distinguished by different colors if multiple sources are available (currently only tap water is shown).
• Carbon Footprint chart: Each bar in the chart represents a year, and the height of the bar indicates the associated carbon footprint in kg CO2-eq for all water sources used.
• Impact per Month chart (if applicable): Each bar in the chart represents a year, and the height of the bar indicates the water impact for that specific month.
• Benchmark Graphs: The benchmark graphs use bar charts to visually compare your impact per square meter and impact per euro sold against industry and association averages. This helps you see where you stand in relation to your peers.

4. Using the Page

• Select Year: Use the menu at the top to select the year for which you want to view water results.
• Analyze the Charts: Review the charts to understand your water consumption, carbon footprint, impact per month (if applicable), and benchmark comparisons.
• Evaluate Variance: Pay attention to the variance percentages to identify areas where your company's performance is significantly different from the industry or association average.
• Identify Areas for Improvement: Based on the insights gained from the page, identify opportunities to reduce your water impact, such as implementing water-efficient technologies, reducing water consumption in daily operations, or exploring alternative water sources.
