The Water Passport

Research

Hypothesis

Businesses need a portable, verified water history the way energy has certificates. SMEs have nothing that survives a move.

Why it matters

Buyers, lenders, insurers, and regulators want longitudinal water data. Quarterly bills vanish when you change premises or accountants.

How I thought about it

The record belongs to the business across every site. Serve SME disclosure, not enterprise-only stewardship schemes. thewaterpassport.com

The work

Business brief (May 2026). Five commercial use cases already live in the market.

Where it stands
