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).

Scope 3 emissions often represent the largest – and most overlooked – share of a company’s carbon footprint. They are the emissions that reveal an organisation’s impact across the entire value chain, from raw material sourcing to end-of-life product disposal.
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.

La gestione delle risorse idriche è entrata nell’agenda strategica di imprese, istituzioni finanziarie ed enti pubblici: definire water target, adottare pratiche di water stewardship e partecipare ad azioni collettive a scala di bacino sono oggi passi concreti che alcune organizzazioni hanno già intrapreso. L’edizione 2026 offre l’opportunità di confrontarsi direttamente con chi ha percorso questa strada, tra cui gli esponenti dell’Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS) e numerose altre realtà nazionali e internazionali, che porteranno esperienze e casi studio. Durante la conferenza sarà inoltre lanciata la Water Resilience Coalition (WRC) della Lombardia. Un appuntamento unico per chi vuole approfondire strumenti e opportunità di collaborazione tra settore privato, finanza e pubblica amministrazione.

Greenwashing significa presentare prodotti o attività aziendali come sostenibili quando non lo sono. Il termine nasce negli anni ’80 e oggi si manifesta su etichette, siti web e report ESG attraverso tecniche come la vaghezza, l’abuso di compensazioni carbon e certificazioni autoprodotte. I rischi per le aziende sono concreti: l’Antitrust italiano sta già sanzionando, e dal 27 settembre 2026 la Direttiva EmpCo (UE) 2024/825 porterà multa fino al 4% del fatturato. Per comunicare la sostenibilità in modo corretto servono dati misurabili, metodologie riconosciute come LCA o ISO 14064, e certificazioni terze come Ecolabel UE o FSC. Etifor supporta le aziende con un approccio basato sulla gerarchia MARC: misurare, ridurre, rimuovere, comunicare.
