Target example
i

[Company name] will reduce the percentage of non-treated water discharged in the [basin name] basin by [target amount]% by [target year] compared to the [baseline year] baseline. [Company name] will reduce the percentage of non-treated water discharged in the [basin name] basin, which is classified as water-stressed, by [target amount]% by [target year] compared to the [baseline year] baseline.

Target source: WBCSD target template

Additional target notes

This target should be applied to its relevant industrial context, and applies only to water that requires treatment before discharge due to the relevant monitoring parameters (e.g., temperature, pH, chemical and biological composition) that exceed acceptable thresholds for that parameter the receiving basin. Water that already meets relevant discharge standards without treatment is excluded from this target.
