Gabriel used the Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas tool from the
World Resources Institute (WRI) to map water stress areas
and consulted dyeworks in the value chain that handle
a significant amount of fabrics (key suppliers/dyeworks)
in connection with Gabriel’s activities.
High water stress areas are defined in the WRI Aqueduct
Water Risk Atlas as regions where the percentage of the
total water withdrawal is high (40-80%) or extremely high
(more than 80%).
In this mapping, Gabriel engaged with key suppliers
but did not perform any consultation with the affected communities.
The starting point for risk assessment and prioritisation
of activities and targets is the mapping of water consumption and water stress. The target levels for 2029/30
are set internally and do not derive from any decisive
scientific documentation.
The results from the Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas are considered true and fair as this tool is pointed out in the
ESRS. However, uncertainty may surround the use of
global models and limited data coverage. Dialogue with
suppliers helps ensure the quality of data and reduce
uncertainties. Projections are based on scenarios with
inherent uncertainty.
Water measurements are based not on estimates but
on actual measurements at Scandye. Water consumption in litres per kg fabric produced is measured as the
water consumption in litres divided by the total amount
of fabric produced in kg.
