Making things easy for your audience is a must, which is why we provide you with some explanatory texts that can help clarify your results. Use them when integrating your data into your website to add value to your metrics.
Unitary impact
- Water scarcity: Deprivation of water to humans and ecosystems due to water consumption in the product value chain.
- Global warming: Climate change caused by the greenhouse effect of heat-trapping pollutants released from the product value chain.
- Eutrophication: Proliferation of algae into an ecosystem due to the excess release of phosphates and nitrates in the product value chain.
- Abiotic depletion: Use of fossil fuels such as oil, natural gas and coal for the production of energy consumed in the value chain.
Impact equivalences
- Water scarcity impact: m3 water eq equivalent to 1,5 l water bottle(s).
- Global warming impact: kg CO2 eq equivalent to day(s) of use of a 40W LED light bulb.
- Eutrophication impact: g phosphates eq equivalent to complete washing cycles in a laundry.
- Abiotic depletion impact: MJ equivalent to km traveled in a regular car.
Unitary benchmark
- Water scarcity savings
- Relative water scarcity impact compared to benchmark: Average percentage of water scarcity impact, scoring above (debts) or below (savings) in all production compared to the industry standard.
- Unitary water scarcity impact benchmark: Associated with the debts and water scarcity savings from the production of a single reference unit.
- Global warming savings
- Relative global warming impact compared to benchmark: Average percentage of global warming impact, scoring above (debts) or below (savings) in all production compared to the industry standard.
