At LSQA we offer the specialized water footprint verification service, designed to assess and certify the impact of water use and consumption by organizations throughout their production chain.
¿Qué es Water Footprint?
What is a water footprint?
The water footprint measures the volume of water consumed or polluted throughout a process or product. LSQA verification independently assesses this impact and helps organizations identify opportunities to improve their water efficiency, reduce their environmental impact, and comply with international regulations.

What is LSQA's water footprint verification?
It is a service that evaluates and certifies the impact of an organization's water use and consumption throughout its production chain, identifying opportunities for improvement in the management of this resource.
What are the levels of water footprint verification?
The process has three levels: Level 1 (Commitment), which assesses the organization's initial commitment; Level 2 (Verified), which confirms that effective water management measures have been implemented; and Level 3 (Efficiency), which recognizes organizations with a high level of efficiency and optimized processes in water use.
How does one progress between the verification levels?
Each level represents a stage of increasing maturity in water management. An organization can start at Level 1 (Commitment) and progress to Level 2 and Level 3 as it implements concrete consumption reduction measures and optimizes its processes.
What is the difference between water footprint and carbon footprint?
The water footprint measures the volume of water consumed or polluted throughout a process or product, while the carbon footprint measures the greenhouse gas emissions associated with an activity. They are distinct environmental indicators, although both can be verified using LSQA.
What are the benefits of certifying your water footprint with LSQA?
In addition to identifying opportunities to reduce water consumption and environmental impact, verification strengthens the organization's reputation, builds trust among its stakeholders, and helps to comply with international regulations.
Is it mandatory to verify the water footprint?
It is not legally required in most countries in the region, but more and more corporate clients and markets that prioritize sustainability value it as a competitive advantage, especially in sectors with high water consumption.
