Water-Use Benchmarking

Service Overview

This service compares water-use intensity between operating periods, processes, sites or suitable reference datasets. It considers production mix, climate and other relevant conditions so that comparisons reflect meaningful differences rather than incompatible operating circumstances.

Key Objectives

• Establish defensible water-use comparisons, identify significant variation and explain how operating conditions and data boundaries influence the interpretation of relative performance.

Approach & Methodology

We review consumption and activity data, select comparable groups and calculate agreed intensity measures. Results are normalised where evidence permits, with benchmark sources, exclusions and remaining comparability limits documented alongside the observed differences.

Expected Outcomes & Value

Managers gain a clearer picture of relative water intensity, supporting more informed performance discussions and avoiding conclusions based solely on total consumption or unmatched external benchmarks.
