Water Resilience

Right now, more than 2 billion people lack safe drinking water. It’s estimated there will be a 40 per cent gap between available water and demand for water by 2030.

Building water resilience at your organization can improve business performance and accelerate growth.

Taking ambitious action in this area will help you:

  • Reduce potential business risks caused by water challenges (operational and supply chain)
  • Enhance your reputation in the communities you operate and with your investors
  • Profoundly impact our ability to fulfil the UN human right to water and sanitation (HRWS) and broader Sustainable Development Goals
  • Support ecosystems that capture, filter and store water resources, while supporting biodiversity and helping to reduce the impacts of climate change
