WHAT IS ISO 46001?
ISO 46001 is the internationally recognized standard for Water Efficiency Management Systems (WEMS). It provides organizations with a structured framework to improve water efficiency by understanding how water is used, identifying opportunities for conservation, reducing waste, and continually improving water performance.
The standard enables organizations to establish water policies, objectives, operational controls, monitoring methods, and improvement programs that support sustainable water management while reducing operational costs and environmental impacts.
Applicable to organizations of every size and sector, ISO 46001 helps improve resilience against water scarcity, strengthen regulatory compliance, and demonstrate environmental responsibility.
