Potable water is a vital natural resource, whose availability is increasingly threatened by climate change, population growth, and pollution. In a context where every drop counts, businesses have a key role to play in its preservation.
Why Should companies save potable water?
Even if their consumption may seem modest compared to sectors such as agriculture or heavy industry, tertiary buildings (offices, shops, and logistics sites) use water daily for toilets, cleaning, catering, cooling systems, and watering outdoor spaces.
Reducing potable water use in these environments offers numerous benefits:
- Lower operating costs through savings on water, wastewater, and maintenance bills;
- Reduced pressure on local water resources, contributing to a healthier environmental balance;
- Regulatory compliance and recognition through environmental certifications (ISO 14001, BREEAM, etc.);
- Increased employee awareness of responsible water use, which can also influence habits at home.
Adopting sustainable water management also means anticipating drought events and strengthening the company's resilience to climate-related challenges.
