ISO 46001 Water Efficiency Management Systems - Requirements with guidance for use

The international standard ISO 46001:2019 outlines the requirements and guidelines necessary for creating, executing, and sustaining a Water Efficiency Management System (WEMS). This standard not only aids organizations in adhering to water consumption regulations and promoting environmental protection but also encourages them to enhance water usage efficiency, foster sustainability, minimize water waste, and achieve cost savings.

ISO 46001:2019 is designed to assist companies in improving their water efficiency through the adoption of systematic management approaches. It presents a structured method for assessing, tracking, measuring, and regulating water use across various operations, ensuring effective water usage, reduction of waste, and the achievement of long-term sustainability objectives.

ISO 46001 Certification Benefits
  • Water Preservation: Organizations can significantly reduce their water consumption by following ISO 46001:2019, which supports global water conservation efforts and alleviates pressure on local water resources.
  • Cost Reduction: Effective water management leads to decreased operational costs. This includes reduced energy expenditures from more efficient systems, lower water charges, and potential financial advantages from diminished wastewater treatment and disposal needs.
  • Environmental Stewardship: The standard aids organizations in curtailing water waste and avoiding water pollution, thereby reducing their environmental footprint. This aligns with sustainability goals and diminishes the organization's impact on the environment.
  • Compliance with Regulations: In light of growing concerns about water scarcity, there are increasingly strict national and international water management regulations. ISO 46001:2019 supports organizations in meeting these requirements. Adhering to the standard can lower the risk of penalties and legal complications.
  • Enhanced Corporate Reputation: By demonstrating a commitment to sustainable water management, companies can bolster their reputation with customers, investors, and other stakeholders. It reflects the company's dedication to environmental stewardship and corporate social responsibility.
  • Improved Operational Effectiveness: The standard’s continuous improvement framework can help organizations pinpoint inefficiencies in water use, leading to more efficient operations and potentially improved overall processes.

ISO 46001:2019 provides a comprehensive structure for efficiently managing water in an organized way. By implementing a Water Efficiency Management System (WEMS), organizations can optimize their water use, reduce waste, save costs, and promote sustainability efforts. This standard not only enhances environmental performance but also ensures the responsible use of water resources, benefiting both the organization and society at large. Implementing ISO 46001:2019 can yield tangible operational benefits, including enhanced reputation for environmental stewardship, cost savings, and compliance with regulations.
