8. Purpose of the Methodology
• Tracking key environmental issues across their
product supply chains.
• Provide Patagonia decision-makers with a
condensed metric that indicates impact of product
water use through a rigorous, repeatable, and
transparent process.
• Product water footprints are influenced by the
production methods, production locations and
water productivities of the supply chain.

•Obtained from remote sensing data
•Assumed as 1 meter depth for ease of calculation

•Theoretical ratio of chlorophyll
a to unit mass of alga
•Ratio varies greatly based on
season, location, composition
•0.01 is scientifically acceptable
