The river is a complex system that provides a long list of ecosystem services. It protects the soil, ensures flood safety and supplies water for agriculture, livestock farming and domestic uses. It has also always been a landscape and cultural element, and a trade route. Today, a growing tourism value is added to these historical roles.

Ogni prodotto, servizio o attività aziendale nasconde un consumo d’acqua che va ben oltre il flusso che scorre dai rubinetti. Parliamo dell’impronta idrica, l’indicatore che misura l’uso diretto e indiretto della risorsa lungo l’intera filiera. In questo articolo spieghiamo il significato di questo indicatore, come si misura l’impronta idrica, quali sono le sue tre componenti, come si calcola secondo la norma ISO 14046. Concludiamo introducendo l’approccio Water Stewardship, tramite un caso studio realizzato con Sanpellegrino sulla falda del Brenta.

Garda Trentino is a complex tourist destination, made up of several territorial areas each with its own offer and identity. Sustainability has been part of the destination’s core values since 2021, but it is through the GSTC pathway — promoted by Trentino Marketing and developed with the technical support of Etifor — that this commitment has taken on a concrete, measurable structure, culminating in the recent GSTC certification.

In Italy, forests grow twice as fast as they are harvested, while the Italian construction sector, like the rest of the Italian wood supply chain, continues to import most of the timber it uses. This is a paradox that weighs on the Italian bioeconomy, but it also hides an enormous opportunity: if managed better, the forest supply chain could become a pillar of the decarbonisation of the entire Italian economy, thanks in particular to the role wood can play in the construction sector, supported by policies such as carbon farming and the new Piano Casa (Housing Plan).

In this article, we explain the differences between Scope 1, 2 and 3, the categories defined by the GHG Protocol, the implications for CSRD reporting, and a concrete case study of a company we supported through the measurement process.
