Freshwater availability and accessibility is unevenly distributed and a growing number of countries are faced with water scarcity challenges. Water scarcity negatively impacts economic growth and leads to unmet human and ecosystem requirements. Water audits and water stewardship initiatives provide solutions to water stressed regions.
Water stewardship programs go beyond simple calculations of operations’ water footprints, they include stakeholder engagement and commitments to a continuous reduction in water usage. Businesses that have implemented water stewardship standards have been able to showcase standout performance on water in terms of productivity, costs, security and reputation.
