Another study in the textile sector: C&€™s Water Footprint Strategy: Cotton Clothing Supply Chain From the project report: "In response to growing concern about the over‐allocation and pollution of water resources and to better understand the sustainability of its cotton clothing supply chain and ultimately improve the sustainability of the industry as a whole, C&A engaged the Water Footprint Network (WFN) to conduct a Water Footprint Assessment of its supply chain using WFN’s globally recognized standard. Water Footprint Assessment includes a comprehensive approach to the accounting of water consumption and pollution in the supply chain, the assessment of the sustainability, efficiency and equitability of that water consumption and pollution, and strategic response formulation to address the world’s pressing water challenges. This first comprehensive Water Footprint Assessment provides clear guidance on where C&A’s supply chain intersects with water scarcity and water pollution hotspots and can be used to prioritize strategic actions."
