Water Stewardship
Water Stewardship
Collaborating with clients to increase water availability
As more companies and communities consider making Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) commitments, the growing focus on water stewardship is shifting attention to water quality, quantity, and availability. The global shift to integrate sustainability reporting into annual financial reporting is promoting new levels of water stewardship for businesses and our communities.
More than 50% of fortune 500 companies have developed water stewardship commitments as part of their ESG programs. Water stewardship goals address an organization’s regenerative commitment to water management, security, and risk.
Increased scrutiny in ESG reporting will result in some standardization and best practices for implementation plans and reporting strategies. A water stewardship strategy can include opportunities in operational efficiency, community watershed connections or a combination of both.
