Ecolab's Water Risk Monetizer Updates Global Water Data to Reflect Current Trends

January 30, 2020 /3BL Media/ Ecolab Inc., the global leader in water, food safety and public health technologies and services, has updated key data within its Water Risk Monetizer tool to reflect current water trends. The tool, which enables businesses to factor current and future water risks into business strategy, is increasingly being used by companies as they plan action steps to support sustainable growth.

The latest version of theWater Risk Monetizer, developed by Ecolab in partnership with Microsoft and Trucost, part of S&P Global, reflects the changing landscape in water risk analysis, ensuring the tool continues to leverage best-in-class information and scientific methodologies.

世界资源研究所渡槽和企业水管理主管保罗·里格（Paul Reig）说：“水风险货币机构为公司提供了一种全面的工具，以加深对与水风险相关的财务影响的理解。”“这样的工具可以使组织能够优先考虑和投资节水。”

With research from the United Nations predicting that global demand for water will exceed supply by 40% by 2030, the Water Risk Monetizer’s latest update supports the advancement of corporate water management in an increasingly water-scarce world.

该工具使用自然资本评估专家Trucost开发的水盆地数据集，经济技术和科学方法论，为公司提供有关其运营的更明智决定所需的见解。最新更新包括来自世界资源研究所的渡槽水风险地图集，更新全球水价数据和更新的全球GDP人口模型的新发布的水压力数据集。

The Water Risk Monetizer quantifies the full value of incoming and outgoing water to a specific location based on basin-level quantity and quality considerations, considering tangible factors such as scarcity and quality as well as potential human health and environmental impacts of water use. Risk levels for individual facilities are displayed in comparison to current water costs.

Planned expansions for the tool in 2020 include:

• Facility-level action planning for smart water management practices
• Additional context-based approaches to local water challenges
• 行业基准测试

“Additional advancements to the Water Risk Monetizer later this year will amplify the tool’s ability to geographically differentiate watersheds and provide applicable, actionable insights suited to a facility’s location,” said Emilio Tenuta, Ecolab senior vice president of Corporate Sustainability. “The Water Risk Monetizer enables users to view water as a shared resource and consider the way they use water in their operations – as well as their supply chain and within their community.”
